The
Maramures[?] wooden
churches, in N.
Transylvania are a
selection of eight examples of different
architectural solutions from
different periods and areas. They are narrow but high timber
constructions with characteristic tall, slim
clock towers[?] at the
western end of the building. They are a particular vernacular
expression of the
cultural landscape of this mountainous area of
northern
Romania.
They have been listed by the UNESCO as World Heritage Sites
