Early Turda History
Founded as a Dacian city under the name Patreuissa (after Ptolemeu in
Geographia III, 8, 4), Patavissa or Potaissa (most frequently confirmed),
Turda was conquered by the Romans.

The castrum established was named
Potaissa too and became a municipium, then a colonia. Potaissa was the
basecamp of the Legio V Macedonica from 166 to 274.
Salt mines were worked in the area since prehistoric times. After the
Hungarian conquest, the Turda salt mines were first mentioned in 1075.
(The salt mines were closed in 1932 but have recently been reopened for
tourism.)
Saxons settled in the area in the 11th century. The town was destroyed
during the Tartar invasion in 1241-1242. Andrew III of Hungary gave royal
privileges to the settlement. These privileges were later confirmed by the
Angevins of Hungary.
The Hungarian Diet was held here in 1467, by Matthias Corvinus. Later,
in the 16th century, Turda was often the residence of the Transylvanian
Diet, too.
The 1558 Diet of Turda declared free practice of both the
Catholic and Lutheran religions, but prohibited Calvinism. Ten years
later, in 1568 the Diet extended the freedom to all religions, declaring
that "It is not allowed to anybody to intimidate anybody with captivity or
expelling for his teaching" - a freedom unusual in medieval Europe.
The
Edict of Turda is considered by mostly Hungarian historians as the first
legal guarantee of religious freedom in Christian Europe.
In 1609 Gabriel Bįthori granted new privileges to Turda. These were
confirmed later by Gabriel Bethlen. In the battle of Turda, Ahmed Pasha
defeated George II Rįkóczi in 1659.
