Comana Monastery is a Romanian Orthodox monastery in Comana, Giurgiu County, Romania. In 1461, the original Comana Monastery was founded and built by Vlad Țepeș as a monastery-fortress. Having fallen into disrepair, the original monastery was completely demolished and rebuilt in 1589 by Radu Serban, future prince of Wallachia, Romania. Measuring 61 m × 56 m , the new monstary was fortified with defensive walls and five towers. It was restored between 1699 and 1703 by Serban Cantacuzino and again during the 18th and 19th centuries. In 1861, the foundation of the original monastery built by Vlad Tepes was rediscovered by Ioan Brezoianu. By 1960, the separate village of Vlad Țepeș had been established 4 kilometers west of Comana.During archeological work performed in the 1970s, a headless body, which may be that of Vlad Tepes, known as Vlad the Impaler, was discovered on the grounds of the current monastery. Historian Constantin Rezachevici and others believe that he may have been buried here, near the battlefield where he was killed.
