Boghicea
Boghicea is a commune in Neamț County, Western Moldavia, Romania. It is composed of four villages: Boghicea, Căușeni, Nistria, and Slobozia.
The commune is located in the eastern part of Neamț County, from the county seat, Piatra Neamț, on the border with Iași County.
Boghicea village was founded by a monk named Boghiță 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 Jassy–Kishinev 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.
