Rimetea, Local council seat and village in Alba County, Romania.
The village of Rimetea stands at 678 meters elevation between the peaks of Piatra Secuiului and Ardașcheia in the Trascău Mountains.
Iron mining shaped Rimetea since Roman times, with the first written records dating to 1257 when the settlement was known as Torockó.
The Europa Nostra award-winning village maintains traditional Transylvanian architecture and houses a Szekler ethnographic museum displaying regional artifacts.
Visitors can reach the village one hour from Cluj-Napoca, with accommodations available in local guesthouses that showcase regional hospitality.
The geographical position at the base of Piatra Secuiului mountain creates a natural phenomenon where the sun appears to rise twice each day.
