LocationCentru, Iași, Romania

Saint Spyridon Church is a Romanian Orthodox church located at 1 Independenței Boulevard in Iași, Romania. Dedicated to Saint Spyridon, its history is linked to that of the nearby Sfântul Spiridon Hospital.

The original church on the site was built between 1752 and 1758. Funds were supplied by the learned boyar Ștefan Bosie, whom the expense bankrupted; he was later joined by hetman Vasile Ruset and the merchant Anastasie Lipscanul of Corfu. The ktitors also founded the hospital, Iași's first, in 1757. This took place during the rule of Prince Constantin Racoviță, who issued the decree ordering construction.
