Maramureș County, Administrative district in northern Romania.
The district covers 6,304 square kilometers of mountainous terrain, including the Eastern Carpathians, Maramureș Mountains, and Țibleș ranges with the Tisa River.
In the 14th century, Duke Bogdan established political influence by crossing the Carpathians from Maramureș to found the Principality of Moldavia.
The district maintains eight UNESCO-listed wooden churches constructed between the 17th and 18th centuries, representing traditional Romanian Orthodox architectural methods.
The capital city Baia Mare connects to other major settlements through a network of highways, railways, and an airport for regional transportation.
The Merry Cemetery in Săpânța features colored tombstones with paintings that tell stories about the lives of the buried residents.
