How do foreign tourists describe Wank Church on Google?

The Jolfa historical neighborhood is one of the spectacular neighborhoods of Isfahan, where sightseeing will polish the soul of tourists. Vank Church is one of the historical buildings of this neighborhood, which dates back to the Safavid era of Shah Abbas. The Wank Church, also known as the Church of the Holy Redeemer, has an area of ​​more than 8,000 square meters. This church is known for its bell tower, rare paintings and other architectural elements and attracts many visitors. A number of foreign tourists who have visited the Vank historical church have described their opinions and experiences on Google Maps.

1. Ebru Yahşi from Turkey

The entrance fee is 2,500,000 Rials, inside there is a map of Türkiye and false documents of the Armenian Genocide by the Turks. We do not have Turkish ancestors who massacred Armenians and burned them alive. If I had known such a teacher was in the church, I would never have gone.

2. Pablo Cumbrera Conde from Spain

A beautiful counterpoint on a trip to Isfahan! Visiting this church is highly recommended. Here is a church and a museum with very cheap admission. The architecture of the church is impressive; Full of murals. The museum is about the Armenian Genocide and other objects related to the monastery.

3. Huang John from China

This is a holy and religious place with buildings and pavilions in different architectural styles, which shows the tolerance of Islam towards other religions.

4. Ilario Bonomi from Italy

The Armenian Christian Cathedral preserves magnificent frescoes (although compared to the best works of the Italian Renaissance, they do not look at all magnificent). There are equally magnificent geometric decorations on the dome of the main altar. After the very specific geometric decorations of mosques, it is surprising to see the human figures that we are used to in Europe. especially the depiction of the temptation of Christ in which Satan is depicted as a venerable old man with a gray beard and purple robes; It is quite unusual for us Europeans!

5. Jason Chow from Hong Kong

The entrance fee for foreigners is 2.5 million Rials. The whole place, especially the church, is beautiful and full of history; It was smaller than I expected though. I recommend this attraction to everyone who comes to Isfahan.
