Saint Mary Church, Armenian church in New Julfa district, Isfahan, Iran
The rectangular church features a main dome supported by robust columns, creating three connected sections adorned with biblical paintings on interior walls.
Built in 1613 during the Safavid period, the church underwent major renovations funded by Khoja Avedik, a silk merchant who enhanced it with chandeliers and artwork.
The church stands as a central religious institution for the Armenian community in Isfahan, preserving their traditions through regular services and ceremonies.

The exterior portico displays twenty stone-carved columns connected by arches decorated with colored glazed tiles, incorporating Persian architectural elements.
