# Targu Ocna Salt Mine, Bacau County.
It is the third largest salt mine and one of the oldest salt mines in Romania. It is home to the Trotuș mine at a depth of 240 m, the country’s largest facility for the treatment of respiratory diseases. The mine is also home to one of the few places of worship in Romania built in salt mines and dedicated to Saint Varvara. The salt mine is still used today for the extraction, processing and marketing of salt in Romania and abroad. Between 90,000 and 120,000 tons of salt are extracted every year.

Salina Targu Ocna is one of the oldest salt mines in Romania and is mentioned in documents dating back to 1502 and has been listed as a salt extraction area since at least 1353.

Valcean Village Museum

(28 January 2026)

The Vâlcea Village Museum is located in the village of Bujoreni, about 4 km from the county capital, Râmnicu Vâlcea.

The museum is arranged like a village and showcases life in rural settlements in past times. The idea was developed in 1969 and gradually implemented. It is definitely worth a visit.

We thank Mr. Alexander Laszlo for his efforts and for sending these images (taken on 17 September 2023).
