The city is located in the northeast of the country and has a long tradition in salt production. Tuzla is home to one of the oldest salt mines in Europe, which has been producing salt for centuries.

Tuzla is a city that associates its name and past with salt, a natural resource that remained under Tuzla in the form of salt water and rock salt after the Pannonian Sea retreated into the Black Sea 10 million years ago. The construction of Europe's only salt lake - Lake Pannonian in the center of the city - brought part of the Pannonian Sea back to the surface of Tuzla.

Tuzla's history dates back to Roman times, when the city served as an important center for the salt trade. Over the centuries, salt played a crucial role in the region's economic development and shaped Tuzla's cultural identity.

However, archaeological research has also shown that there was a large and rich Neolithic settlement in the center of today's Tuzla. This settlement was reconstructed near the salt lakes.

Nowadays, Tuzla is a modern city that is proud of its rich history and cultural heritage. In addition to the salt lakes, the city also offers a variety of attractions, including historic buildings, museums and parks.
