Ocna Mureș (formerly Uioara , Latin Salinae , Hungarian Marosújvár , German Miereschhall ) is a place in the Alba district in Transylvania . Its population was 15,526 in 2002.

There is a large salt deposit near the city , which was exploited until the 1980s. When the tunnels were flooded with water, the overlying surface layer collapsed and destroyed large parts of the city center. Ocna Mureș has a factory for chlorosodic products from the time of mining and a medicinal bath that uses the flooded mines as a source.
