Preserving the traditions
"We have had several projects undergoing intended to promote the tourist potential of Sanpetru, but the most traditional of them all, which means a lot for us, is the Days of Sanpetru, who has now reached its 18th edition. As the people of Sanpetru have always known how to preserve their old traditions and customs connected to the most significant moments in the life of our community, we have decided to support the promotion of cultural tradition in such a way as to remain alive in the heart of the future generations and to always keep Sanpetru commune an attractive place for tourists. For many years the communication between the Town Hall and the citizens has contributed to maintaining the spirit of continuation of the cultural values and the architectural heritage of the commune. A small part of its cultural legacy can be admired at the Days of Sanpetru," said Mr. Ion Rusu, Mayor of Sanpetru.
