Saint George Armenian Church, Armenian Apostolic church in Sangelaj district, Tehran, Iran
The rectangular structure features a central dome with twelve skylights, supported by arches and four pillars throughout the interior space.
Built in 1795 as a small chapel during Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar's rule, the church received its current form through reconstruction in 1882.
The church includes two symmetrical rooms near the altar, with one room designated for baptisms and another for religious services.
The entrance doors maintain a lower height, requiring visitors to bow their heads when entering this Armenian religious building.
The church bell tower stands on the western side of the dome, while the eastern section contains a designated area for prayer and singing.
