Holiday apartment in Homorâciu: Culture, water and mountain surroundings

Homorâciu between culture and landscape

In Homorâciu, the specific highlights range from an 18th-century church and 19th-century houses to the La Cetăţuie archaeological site, Iazul Dorului, as well as peaks and a mountain in the surrounding area.

Churches with their own architectural history

The Biserica „Adormirea Maicii Domnului“ in Homorâciu is a monument of national architectural interest. It was built in 1743–1744; its side apses were added in 1877.

The Biserica Veche din Homorâciu also bears the patronage of „Adormirea Maicii Domnului“. It has massive walls made of stone, bricks and roof tiles, with a thickness ranging from 40 centimetres to 1 metre.

Historic houses and La Cetăţuie

The Casa Dumitru Ionescu in Homorâciu is now the village museum and dates from the first half of the 19th century. The Casa Anghel Ciocea in Homorâciu dates from the late 19th century. The two houses therefore represent different periods of the same century: the first half in one case, and the late period in the other.

The archaeological site Cetatea La Tène de la Homorâciu – La Cetăţuie extends across both Homorâciu and Drajna de Sus. Its geographical connection therefore extends beyond the village of Homorâciu.

Water at Iazul Dorului

Fresh fish can be bought at Iazul Dorului in Homorâciu. Iazul Dorului also offers fishing with fish take-away, as well as relaxation. The waterside location thus combines a specific connection to fish with both an active and a tranquil way to spend time.

Pietri is a peak in the surroundings of Homorâciu. Plaiului Ursului and Vf. Mare are also peaks in the surroundings of Homorâciu. Măgura Ceraşul is a mountain in the surroundings of Homorâciu. The landscape theme therefore includes both individual peaks and a mountain in the vicinity of the village.

Homorâciu railway station and Line 306

Homorâciu railway station is served by railway line 306 between Ploieşti and Măneciu. The railway line therefore provides a clear regional connection for Homorâciu.
