The Church of Saintly Sisters | Vank Cathedral | Part1

The Holy Savior Cathedral or the Church of Saintly Sisters is widely known as Vank Cathedral. It is an Armenian church, located in the New Julfa district in the center of Isfahan. The name “Vank” derives from the Armenian word “monastery”. Due to its outstanding interior, Vank Cathedral is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Isfahan.

The cathedral was established in 1606 for hundreds of thousands of Armenian deportees who came to Iran during the Ottoman war.

Vank Cathedral is open for visitors from 9.00 till 18.00, with a break for praying from 12.30 till 15.00. Except for the cathedral itself, there is a courtyard that has a bell tower, several graves of orthodox and protestant Christians, library, museum, and a memorial to the 1915 Armenian genocide in Turkey. You may spend some time here before heading to Zayandehrud embankment for an evening promenade.
