The Transylvanian Plain

The Transylvanian Plain (Romanian: Câmpia Transilvaniei , Hungarian: Mezőség) is an ethnogeographical area in Transylvania, Romania, located between the Someş River and the Mureş River.

The Transylvanian Plain can be divided into two parts: a hilly one in the North-East and a plain one in South and West.

Some important villages of Câmpia Transilvaniei are Sic (a former salt-mining town), Mociu, Jucu, Band, Suatu and Unguraş.
