Due to the wide range of religions in Iran, religious sites such as mosques, churches and synagogues are seen together in different parts of the country. Christians living in Hamadan built churches for worship, praying and other religious affairs, some of which have survived for us from ancient times. St. Stephanos Gregorian Church is located in the ancient Armenian neighborhood, on the eastern side of Hegmataneh Hill, which is one of Hamadan's spectacular places. The church was built in 1676 by the Christians at the time of Safavid Shah Suleiman and was restored in 1932. St. Stephanos Gregorian Church with a rectangular plan is made up of a main hall and library. The outer view of the church is decorated with clay and brick, and the interior part has no decorations. The light of St. Stephanos Gregorian Church's Hall is provided through the narrow and numerous windows all around the Building. The church has 3 doors in the west, north and south directions and the main entrance door is on the west. The baptisms stone basin is at the end of the north wall of the church, which is one of the prominent features of the building. The church is for the Protestants. The Catholic Church in Hamadan is the only church that continues its activities. Take Alaedin Travel tour to Hamadan to explore Hamadan's spectacular places.
