Maramureș

Among Romania’s regions, Maramureș stands out for its living wooden-building tradition and mountain-framed villages. In the country’s far north, the historic area follows the upper Tisza basin, with the Carpathian ranges shaping its eastern and southern horizons. Eight Wooden Churches of Maramureș are inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List, recognised for their tall shingled spires and craftsmanship. Rural communities still mark the calendar with church feasts and folk customs, while Săpânța is known for its Merry Cemetery, whose brightly painted crosses carry verse epitaphs.
