About Petroşani

Founded in the mid-17th century, Petroșani is a historic city on the banks of the Jiul de Est in Romania’s Transylvania region. It once served as a base for shepherds before the establishment of coal mines in the 19th century. Once ruled by the Austro-Hungarian Empire, it became part of Romania following the inter-war Treaty of Trianon.

Things to do in Petroşani

For insight into the area’s industrial past, visit the Petroșani Mining Museum, which is the only museum in Romania dedicated to coal mining. It occupies a heritage-listed building that dates back to 1920 and once served as employee housing for the mining company. In addition to vintage equipment, tools and clothing, the museum showcases documents and sketches from the mines.

A short walk away is the Museum of the Romanian Plumber, which presents the unique perspective and humour of the Petrilean artist, Ion Barbu. Decorating its colourful facade are a gold-painted remote control, toy piano and vintage telephone, while inside is a unique interpretation of Edvard Munch’s “The Scream”. Be sure to visit the bathroom to see a gas mask and pictures of the Romanian politician, Elena Udrea.

Sprawling north-west of Petroșani is Gradistea Muncelului-Cioclovina Natural Park, which encompasses karst landscapes, meadows and canyons in the Șureanu Mountains. Follow one of the hiking trails that access the park’s waterfalls and sinkholes while keeping your eyes peeled for badgers, foxes and bears. Also within the park are the remains of centuries-old ethnographic settlements and the Ohaba-Ponor Fossil Site.
