ROMÂNIA IN wORLD HERITAGE OF UNESCO. CASE STUDY: ROŞIA MONTANĂ
Journal Title: Geographia Napocensis - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
România has only 7 sites inscribed on World Heritage List of UNESCO, a number which is far under its true posibilities in this concern. Furthermore, 14 sites are also inscribed on the Tentative List, most of them (12) from 1991, and are still waiting to be accepted on the World Heritage List; but for this to happen, our country has to make much more efforts. Roşia Montană can not be found through the sites which appear on the Tentative List, but we found strong arguments that this place needs careful attention, as it is the oldest mining town in Romania and one of the oldest and most significant mining areas throughout the world. Its history has developed over two millennia, and its Roman mining galleries form the most vast and complex underground system belonging to Roman epoch known until nowadays. Consequently, Roşia Montană can be wholly considered as being a remarkable cultural landscape.
