Cimitirul Vesel or the Merry Cemetery is situated in Săpânţa, and it is famous for the crosses on the tombs. The crosses are vividly colorful, the images representing scenes from the life and occupations of the dead. Some of the crosses even have short poems on them which are humorous. The idea of such a cemetery was the concept of Stan Ioan Pătraş. There are about 800 wooden crosses in the cemetery, thus becoming an open air museum and a tourist attraction. Merry Cemetery
