Romexpo was built on the site of the former racecourse in 1964. The complex, which hosts numerous events, is dominated by the central pavilion and its 93-meter-diameter dome. The Sofitel hotel tower dates from 1994, and the adjoining business center(Centru Internaţional de Afaceri - World Trade Center) is in full development: conference rooms, offices, company headquarters. It is also close to the airport.

A visit to the saltworks is well worth the effort: you have to climb more than 280 steps to reach the bottom! Along the long corridors, you'll see a chapel, a saltwater basin and an astonishing ballroom with parquet flooring and chandeliers. Period documents and photos tell the story of the mine. In operation since 1791, the saltworks is still in use. At a depth of some 90 meters, beneath the part that can be visited, miners continue to extract salt. The result is a pervasive odor, which may bother certain sensitive organisms.
