About Comana Monastery

Religion, Monasteries, Interesting Places

Comana Monastery (Romanian: Mănăstirea Comana) is a Romanian Orthodox monastery in Comana, Giurgiu County, Romania.

In 1461, the original Comana Monastery was founded and built by Vlad Țepeș (Vlad the Impaler) as a monastery-fortress.

Having fallen into disrepair, the original monastery was completely demolished and rebuilt in 1589 by Radu Serban, future prince of Wallachia, Romania. Measuring 61 m × 56 m (200 ft × 184 ft), the new monsatery was fortified with defensive walls and five towers. It was restored between 1699 and 1703 by Serban Cantacuzino and again during the 18th and 19th centuries.
