Maramureș County, Administrative district in northern Romania.
Maramureș is an administrative county in northern Romania characterized by mountainous landscapes and river valleys. The region contains several mountain ranges and river systems that define its geographic structure.
The county gained political significance in the 14th century when a local leader crossed the Carpathians and founded a new principality to the east. This migration created an important link between the region and the development of neighboring territories.
The region carries strong traditions of woodcarving and textile work, with patterns and techniques visible in homes, churches, and local markets throughout the area. These crafts remain part of daily life and reflect the community's connection to its heritage.
The main city Baia Mare serves as the hub for regional connections, offering road, rail, and air links to other settlements. From there, visitors can easily reach various attractions and communities throughout the area.
The village of Săpânța is known for its colorful wooden crosses in the cemetery, each painted with vivid scenes from the lives of those buried below. These painted crosses turn the burial ground into an outdoor gallery that celebrates the people it honors.
