Shepherd's Church (Chopan-Kalesa)
One of the smallest but most charming Armenian churches on the banks of the Aras River.
Historical Period: Safavid
- Use: Place of worship for Armenian shepherds and travelers
- Architecture:
- Small building with carved stones
- Simple and beautiful dome
- Narrow windows for natural light
- Location: On the way to Jolfa to the Church of St. Stephen, near the Aras River
- One of the most peaceful and spiritual places in the region
- An example of simple but authentic Armenian religious architecture
This church is often overshadowed by the fame of St. Stephen, but it is truly unique in terms of beauty and sense of peace.
