Romanian Symbols – The Dacian Knot – The Unbreakable Bond with Destiny - Romania Osaka Expo 2025

The Dacian Knot, a symbol found in the art and architecture of the ancient Dacians, is more than just a decorative element – it represents an ancestral code of continuity, unity, and an unbreakable bond with destiny. The intertwining lines evoke a path without beginning or end, mirroring the cycles of life and history.

This symbol appears in stone carvings discovered in Dacian fortresses, in gold bracelets worn by Dacian aristocrats, and even in the structure of the fortifications at Sarmizegetusa, where every construction seemed to follow a sacred pattern. The Dacian Knot is a cryptic message across time, a sign that the past and future are inseparably linked.

Reproduced in salt in the area dedicated to arts and crafts, this knot becomes a tangible symbol of deep-rooted connections, ties that cannot be undone, and a nation that remains true to its identity despite the passage of time.
