Cacica (Kaczyka)


Cacica (Polish: Kaczyka) is a commune located in Suceava County, Romania, in the region called Bucovina.
Its Polish inhabitants (over 20%) are descended from settlers who arrived there at the turn of the 19th century.
The commune is composed of five villages: Cacica, Maidan, Pârteștii de Sus (the commune center), Runcu and Solonețu Nou.

Cacica it is located at the boundary between the mountains and hills regions.

The beginnings of Cacica (Kaczyka) date back to the 1780s when the village became famous for salt-mining with many miners coming from the (Polish) town of Bochnia. And thus began Kaczyka’s ties with Poland.
The salt mine one of the oldest exploitations of salt recrystallized from brine from Europe.
Salt extraction dates back from the period of Cris culture from early Neolithic (5th millennium, before Christ).


Cacica is one of those magical places that we find in Europe.
