Maglavit Monastery is an Orthodox monastery in Romania, located in Maglavit commune in Dolj County. It is built at the place where the shepherd Petrache Lupu would have seen God. The place was called "La buturug". Petrache Lupu was a deaf and mute shepherd that convinced hundreds of thousands of pilgrims that God appeared to him.{{cite web|url=https://www.nineoclock.ro/2014/09/14/maglavit-village-secures-dolj-a-place-in-the-history-of-christianity/|title=Maglavit Village secures Dolj a place in the history of Christianity|date=14 September 2014|website=Noneoclock.ro|accessdate=25 June 2019}} The monastery was closed in the communist period and opened after 1989.{{cite web|url=http://www.informatii-romania.ro/listing/manastirea-maglavit/|title=Mănăstirea Maglavit|website=Informatii-romania.ro|accessdate=25 June 2019}} In 2019 the International Meeting of Orthodox Youth happened at the Monastery with over 4,000 young people.{{Cite news |last=Iftimiu |first=Aurelian |date=9 September 2019 |title=ITO 2019: Bishop Ignatie presses need for inner beauty in 'a world of photomaniacs' |work=Basilica |url=https://basilica.ro/en/ito-2019-bishop-ignatie-presses-need-for-inner-beauty-in-a-world-of-photomaniacs/ |access-date=28 April 2023}}
