Niculițel is a commune in Tulcea County, Northern Dobruja, Romania.

A paleo-Christian basilica dated from the end of the 4th century to the 6th century was discovered in Niculițel in the spot named "La Plăcintă".

While a specific end date for the use of the basilica could not be determined, a couple of 10th century submerged dwellings were discovered as having been dug in the NV corner of the nave which concludes that the basilica was in disarray by the 10th century.

Under the altar there is a crypt which housed the bones of the martyrs whose names were written on the sidewalls.
