Inside The Saline Church - Târgu Ocna
Chairs, pulpit, and wall paintings. You can
see the marks left from digging in solid salt walls. |

|
The earliest known reference to the city dates from 1408 during the
rule of Alexandru cel Bun. The etymology is unclear, but one
possibility is being derived from the name of a dark-age Hungarian
warlord, Bakó, which also gives the Hungarian name of the city, Bákó.
During WWI and the occupation of Wallachia by the Germans, Bacău was
the headquarters of the Romanian Army.
