THE SACRED CULTURAL LANDSCAPE - A SOURCE OF TOURISM IN THE MOSTIȘTEA BĂRAGAN

The sacral cultural landscape requires greater attention in the analysis of knowledge, through the multitude of details and messages it conveys, through painting and laic architecture. This study attempts to highlight and value the potential that the Mostistea Baragan has from this point of view. The method of analysis is the empirical one of the interview which had as basis of analysis and discussion the knowledge of the main lay monuments (some of them without religious activity) of the locals, but also of those who visit the area. The results support the local administrations to pay more attention to these monuments that form a special cultural landscape, the sacred one. It can be an important source of tourism for a geographical area whose physical-geographical landscape is not particularly remarkable. Together with the wealth of lakes used for fishing and recreational purposes, this sacred cultural landscape could become an additional source of tourist attraction.
