There is a small section of Esfahan that Armenians live in having settled here over time and a number of people fleeing to Esfahan at the time of the Armenian genocide.
We visited a church which had the most amazing frescoes I think I have ever seen in a church, it was simply magnificent!
They also had a museum that housed many Armenian artifacts and had a brief history of the genocide.
It was extremely interesting and fascinating to see some of he artifacts that dated back for centuries.
After visiting the church we stopped for coffee at a quirky Armenian coffee shop, they were even playing Radiohead! It's unusual to hear normal music in Iran!
