Armenian Church of St. George (Tehran)

Tehran's second-oldest church, Armenian Apostolic, consecrated in 1795, a registered Iranian cultural heritage site.

The Armenian Church of St. George, also known as Surp Gevorg, is the second-oldest church in Tehran and a registered Iranian cultural monument. Consecrated as a chapel in 1795 and elevated to a church in 1835, it belongs to the Diocese of Tehran of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The building in old Tehran bears witness to the survival of a Christian minority community in the Iranian capital across several centuries. For those exploring Tehran's religious diversity beyond its Islamic architecture, this is one of the quiet but significant monuments of that history.
