Saint George Church or Gevork's church in Jolfa was built in the Safavid era. The foundation stones of this church, which was constructed in 1611, were taken from Etchmiadzin Cathedral in Armenia upon the order of the Safavid rule Shah Abbas I (1571-1629). Because of these stones, Saint George Church is a sacred pilgrimage site for Armenians. The building of this rectangular-shaped church incorporates elements of Armenian and Iranian architecture. There is a beautiful piece of tilework depicting the Adoration of the Magi above the entrance of the church which was placed there in 1719. The wooden cross which once hung above the alter of the church has been moved to the Vank Museum due to its historical importance.
