Romania has seven sites on the World Heritage List, and its Tentative List includes cultural and natural heritage sites. One of these cultural sites, the Historic Centre of Sighişoara, attracted a great deal of attention owing to a project to build a theme-park in the vicinity. Fortunately, this project was eventually abandoned.
The restoration of the Probata monastery was undertaken with the help of UNESCO/Japan Funds-in-Trust.
