Săcel (Hungarian: Izaszacsal (after 1901), Szacsal (until 1901); Yiddish: סיטשל) is a commune in Maramureș County, Maramureș, Romania. Composed of a single village, Săcel, it is the last locality up the Iza Valley. From here one can get to the Vișeu Valley through Dealul Moiseiului Pass (towards the northeast) and to Transylvania (specifically Năsăud, towards the south) through Dealul Ștefāniței Pass, which separates the Țibleș and Rodna Mountains.

Săcel pottery[]

Săcel is famous for its red, unglazed pottery obtained through ancient, Dacian techniques that date back more than 2000 years ago. Nowadays, an ancient Roman type oven is used for burning the clay. Săcel pots are manufactured in Dacian style and they are ornamented using mineral elements.
