[edit] Get in

Getting to Turda is very easy because it is on the junction of 2 major roads in Romania. Turda had a great importance in the history of Transylvania because here, for the first time in christian Europe, was declared in 1568 the Edict of religious freedom, the religious tolerance, a more important edict for transilvanian identity.
