TURDA

Turda – by its old, Roman name, ‘Potaissa’ – is situated at the heart of Transylvania. With a population of about 57.000 inhabitants, harmoniously cohabitating Romanians, Hungarians, and Germans. Turda invites its guests to discover the spectacle of the Salina Turda (The Salt Mine) and to visit the historical centre of the town, as well as all the other historical and cultural monuments we are proud of.

The city of Turda has partnerships with other towns in Europe, such as Angouleme (France), Santa Susana (Spain), Putten (The Netherlands), Szydlowiec (Poland), Hodmezovasarhely, Bihortorda and Kiskunfelegyhaza (Hungary), as well as Torda (Serbia). Art, culture and education have always been the key aspects boosting our collaboration with these municipalities, based on our conviction that these areas are the most suitable ones to harmoniously bring different nations of the world together. One of our main missions is to teach young people how to respect each other’s habits, traditions and cultures, and how to promote those, thus fulfilling the twinning partnerships’ role: creating reciprocal knowledge and openness towards each others’ life, and promoting best practices bilaterally.
