Bisericile rupestre din Munții Buzăului, Medieval cave churches in Buzău Mountains, Romania.
The stone churches form a complex of 29 religious structures carved into limestone cliffs at 1000 meters altitude in southeastern Carpathians.
Archaeological research revealed traces of habitation dating back to the Bronze Age, with documented religious use starting in the 16th century.
The churches contain mysterious inscriptions and Christian drawings on their walls, marking centuries of Orthodox monastic traditions.
Access requires following DN10 road from Buzău to Măgura village, then continuing 10 kilometers on unpaved paths to reach the sites.
The Bottom of the Cave contains 200 ancient symbols of unknown origin carved into its walls, representing prehistoric writings.
