Mănăstirea Dervent

Dervent Monastery is an important place of pilgrimage in Dobrogea, set near the Danube in Constanta county, not far from the border with Bulgaria. The settlement is known above all for its stone crosses regarded as miracle-working, which local tradition says appeared in the early Christian centuries, linked to martyrs from the time of the persecutions. The faithful come here for prayer and for the spring of healing water within the grounds.

The monastery was rebuilt in the twentieth century and remains a landmark of spirituality in the southern part of Dobrogea, a region with a very ancient Christian history. The peaceful setting, the closeness to the great river and the atmosphere of contemplation make Dervent a fitting stop for pilgrims and for tourists exploring the villages and landscapes of the southern province between the Danube and the Black Sea.
