52. Postcard from Iran

Location/Lokalizacja: Jolfa, Iran
"Sant Stepanous" church 
Azarbaijan - Jolfa


Piękna pocztówka z kościołem św. Stefana znajdującym się we wschodnim Azerbejdżanie 15 km od miasta Jolfa. Kościół znajduje się na liście UNESCO. Pocztówka dołącza do moich ulubionych :)


A beautiful postcard with the Church of St. Stefan located in eastern Azerbaijan.
I have to write that postcard like me very much and is now one of my favorites: )

The St. Stepanos Monastery (Maghartavank) is an Armenian monastery about 15 km northwest of Jolfa city, East Azarbaijan Province northeast Iran. It is situated in a deep canyon along the Arax river on the Iranian side of the border between Azerbaijan and Iran. It was built in the 9th century and rebuilt in the Safavid era after several earthquakes damaged it.


Z tyłu pocztówka też wygląda ciekawie:
On the back of the postcard also looks interesting:
