The former Salina Turda Salt Mines in Transylvania, Romania have been converted into the world’s largest underground museum. Descending almost 400 feet into the Earth, the site has become a haven for visitors all across the world.
The mine, which was first established in the 17th century, includes three levels covering three different mines – the Terezia, Rudolg, and Gizela mines. The massive mine was formed completely by hand and machine rather than using explosives.
At 140 feet down, the mine includes a 180-seat amphitheater and carousel. At 370 feet down, the mine provides access to a small lake where boats can be rented. A large rotating wheel allows visitors to see the stalagmites throughout the cave.
