One of the sights of Qazvin is the cantor church. It is one of the smallest Orthodox churches in Iran. The Cantor church was built by the Russians in Qazvin during World War II, but today it has no religious use and is preserved as a monument. There are two tombstones in the churchyard, one of which is the tomb of a Russian pilot killed in World War II and one of Russian engineering. The architecture of the building and its brick facade look different than other buildings in the city.

epah Qazvin Street, also called Ali Qapu or Government Street, today known as Shohada Street, extends from the north side to Chehelston Palace and the Qapu Supreme Mansion, and to the south side of the Old Town Mosque and beyond to Salamgah Street. And the road to Rai Ray finds its way. The east side of the street is also filled with old style brick shops. The street is apparently derived from the name of a neighborhood called Herat Street where King Tahmaseb lived in the Crown Prince. During the reign of Shah Safi, the street was extended from the south to the cemetery south of the city of Qazvin (Kahanbar Cemetery). Later this street was named after part of the old city neighborhood and this part of Qazvin was called the street neighborhood.
