Armanitola esp. the Armenian Church and Graveyard. The gravestones depict the amazing journey made by the Armenians to Bengal, many via Persia. The cemetery also contains the graves of many members of the Christian community at the time, including a gentleman who is said to have lived till 108! The inside of the Church is very peaceful and has one of the oldest extant paintings in Bangladesh - as well as a 100 year old photo of the Archbishop of the Armenian Church for India and Persia!
