The Counts Castle of Kelling, a majestic fortress built in the 13th century, stands proudly as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993. Located in Calnic, German Kelling, this municipality in Alba County showcases Transylvania's historical significance. In Maramures, you'll find the enchanting Cemetery of Budesti at the Lower Church. This sacred ground holds the final resting place of a gypsy baron and is recognized as another remarkable UNESCO World Heritage Site. The wooden church Cuvioasa Paraschiva in Deseti takes us back to 1770 when it was constructed. As an exquisite example of architectural mastery, this UNESCO World Heritage Site preserves Romanian history within its walls. Humorului boasts not only one but two exceptional cultural landmarks. The Monastery Church Adormirea Maicii Domnului at Humor Monastery is a Romanian Orthodox women's monastery that has earned recognition from UNESCO for its spiritual significance and beauty. Its exterior wall adorned with breathtaking frescoes adds to its allure. Moving on to Suceava, we encounter Moldavian Monasteries' smallest gem: The Holy Cross Church of Patrauti. Built by Stephen the Great in 1487, this charming church captivates visitors with its historical charm and religious importance. Witnessing restorers diligently working on frescoes inside Vatra Moldovitei's Moldovita Monastery reveals their dedication to preserving Romania's artistic legacy. This Romanian Orthodox women's monastery houses stunning frescoes dedicated to the Annunciation within its walls. Further north lies Dragomirna Monastery near Suceava city—a serene sanctuary nestled near Dragomirna village that invites contemplation and reflection amidst picturesque surroundings. Suceava also hosts St. Gheorghe Monastery (Biserica Sf. Gheorghe Mirauiti), a UNESCO World Heritage Site that showcases the region's religious heritage.
