Vank Church, or Amenaprkich, the Savior of All, with a history of 350 years, is considered a masterpiece of architecture and art in the Jolfa neighborhood of Isfahan city.
This church is regarded as the center of communication for Armenians in Isfahan with the Armenian world and was built by the order of Shah Abbas II over nine years in the Jolfa neighborhood.
