Comana Monastery is an important Orthodox monastic settlement located in Giurgiu County, about 40 km south of Bucharest. Initially founded in 1461 by Vlad the Impaler, the monastery was rebuilt in the 16th century by the nobleman Radu Șerban and has since remained a place of prayer, reflection, and history.

The monastery is also believed to be the possible burial site of Vlad the Impaler, although this has not been officially confirmed. Built as a medieval fortress, Comana impresses with its massive defensive walls and church architecture, which features Byzantine and Brâncovenesc influences.

Today, the monastery is part of the Comana Natural Park, a protected area known for its breathtaking landscapes, diverse flora, and rich wildlife. It is an ideal place for pilgrimage and relaxation, blending spirituality with the beauty of nature.
