Cocoș Monastery, Orthodox monastery in Niculițel, Romania.
The monastery complex includes an abbot's residence, monks' quarters, bell tower, chapel, and church dedicated to Dormition of the Theotokos.
Three monks named Visarion Fagarasanu, Gherontie, and Isaia established the initial structure in 1833 after purchasing land from a local resident.
The monastery holds religious services and maintains Eastern Orthodox traditions while serving as a gathering place for community celebrations throughout the year.
Located 6 kilometers south of Niculițel town, the monastery welcomes visitors who can reach it through rural roads in Tulcea County.
Rain exposed a hidden crypt in 1971, revealing relics of four martyrs from 303-304 CE: Zotic, Attal, Kamasie, and Filip.
