Țicleni, in Romania’s Gorj County, lies in the valley of the Cioiana stream, among hills. Roman coin finds, churches and historic mineral springs give the town a range of cultural associations. If you are looking for holiday accommodation, match the exact address to your intended destination rather than assuming that generic offers are cheap.

History at Dealul Bujorului

A hoard of 240 Roman Republican silver denarii was discovered in the Tunși district in 1969. The coins date from 211 to 73 BC. A church stands on the plateau; it was built between 1897 and 1899 and consecrated in 1899. An older church in Tunși is documented as early as 1601; it has a ship-like shape and a bell tower clad in wood. The different dates refer to coin finds and distinct religious buildings, not a single complex. The Geto-Dacian fortification of La Cetate lies about two kilometres southwest of Țicleni and is an archaeological site, not a freely accessible castle.

Nature and local culture

Saline and thermal springs have been used for spa treatments since 1973. This does not confirm that spa treatments can currently be booked or that they have any medical benefits for travellers; check current operations separately. Part of the town’s area lies within the Coridorul Jiului Natura 2000 site. Observe its protected status and follow the designated paths when going on a nature outing. The seventh edition of the “La Poalele Cetății” festival took place in 2025, with themes centred on tradition and community. Check the programme again for future dates. A two-storey house originating from Țicleni reflects links in its architecture to Gorj’s old Cule houses; its current location or accessibility should not be inferred from its origin.

Accommodation to suit your interests

A stay focused on a church walk raises different location considerations than a visit to the fortification or a protected area. Compare a specific holiday home by address, amenities and terms. About the region: Gorj.
