Hlincea Monastery, Romanian Orthodox monastery in Ciurea, Romania
The monastery consists of stone and brick structures situated at the base of Cetăţuia Hill in the Iași metropolitan area.
Maria, daughter of Moldavian Prince Petru Şchiopul, established the monastery in 1574, followed by reconstruction under Prince Vasile Lupu and his son Ştefăniţă in 1660.
