Boghicea is a commune in NeamÃÂ County, Western Moldavia, Romania. It is composed of four villages: Boghicea, CÃÂuÃÂeni, Nistria, and Slobozia.
The commune is located in the eastern part of NeamÃÂ County, from the county seat, Piatra NeamÃÂ, on the border with IaÃÂi County.
Boghicea village was founded by a monk named BoghiÃÂÃÂ who had a small hermitage in the forest and sheltered other citizens. In 1784, Gheorghe Stroescu and his wife Adela began construction on a stone and brick church on their estate with their own finances.
In August 1944, during the Second JassyâÂÂKishinev offensive, the village was the site of a tank battle where the Romanians led by Lt. Ion S. Dumitru repulsed Soviet forces, causing heavy casualties.
