Saint Stepanos Monastery

Reviewed By BRaissiyan - Tehran, Iran

If you visit Iran's north west, you should visit UNESCO world heritage site, st stepsnous church. Located on the border between Iran and Nakhjavan Republic, the church is know as one the very first orthodox Monastery, and it reveals some less known aspects of the Christianity, and the roots of its prolificstion throuout the world. Although nowadays the area's dominant culture is Azerbaijani Moslem, historically, many different cultures and ethnic groups have lived and thrived there. The building architecture itself is unbelievably beautiful and influential, although not as big as later built Monasteries. Visiting the site and it's surrounding nature is perhaps a memorable and pleasant cultural tourism activity.
