Vank Christian Church

Iran view map

The most famous and beautiful Iranian church is "Vank". In addition to various wall paintings it possesses a great number of tableaus with religious themes, most of which have been brought here by the Armenian businessmen from Europe. The tableaus about Christ's (A.S.) arrest, the Last Supper etc. have decorated the walls of this church. There is a museum near this church , which has about 700 hand-written Armenian manuscripts. Also the first printed book in Iran can be found in this museum. In addition to Vank , other churches such as the churches of holy Mary and Jolfa can be found in Isfahan.
