Podgoria Copou Monastery, Romanian Orthodox monastery in Copou Hill, Iași, Romania.
The monastery includes a church constructed with traditional brick materials, reflecting architectural elements common to 17th-century Orthodox religious buildings in Romania.
Founded in 1638 by Moldavian Prince Vasile Lupu, the monastery was initially managed by Greek abbots and placed under the jurisdiction of the Athonite Monastery of Karakalou.
The monastery celebrates Saints Athanasius the Great and Cyril of Alexandria with an annual feast day on January 18th, maintaining Orthodox religious traditions.
Located on Str. Podgoriilor in Iași, the monastery functions as both an active place of worship and a historical monument open to visitors.
An exterior wall features a white marble inscription from 1702, documenting restoration work carried out under Prince Constantin Duca's direction.
