Sighetu Marmației, Municipality in Maramureș County, Romania
Sighetu Marmației stands at 274 meters elevation along the Tisa River, forming a natural border with Ukraine near the town of Solotvyno.
The settlement received recognition as a free royal town in 1352 and served as the administrative center of Máramaros comitatus outside Transylvania.
The Memorial to the Victims of Communism, housed in the former Sighet Prison, preserves the memory of political figures detained during the communist regime.
The municipality maintains international connections through partnerships with cities like Khust, Oława, Kolomyia, Naples, and Kiryat Yam for cultural exchanges.
The childhood home of Nobel Peace Prize laureate Elie Wiesel has been transformed into a Holocaust Museum documenting the local Jewish community history.
