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.

The monastery maintains Romanian Orthodox traditions through religious services and stands as an example of Moldavian architectural heritage in Iași County.

The monastery functions as an active religious center and features in the National Register of Historic Monuments under the reference code IS-II-a-A-04180.

The monastery underwent multiple transformations while maintaining its position as a religious center, including a period of closure until 1990 when it reopened as a friary.
