Church of Our Lady of the Rosary

The Church of Our Lady of the Rosary features a main structure built with adobe, brick, and plaster according to traditional Safavid architectural principles.

Established in 1681 and expanded in 1705, the church transitioned from Dominican monks to Armenian Catholics in the 18th century before French Lazarists took charge.

The church stands as a representation of Catholic presence in New Julfa, where multiple Armenian churches form a concentrated religious district in Isfahan.

Located in District 5 at coordinates 32.630556 latitude and 51.649583 longitude, the church received complete renovation works in 2005 after years without maintenance.

The building combines Latin Catholic religious elements with Safavid architectural design, resulting in a structure that reflects Persian construction methods.
