For much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries the district of Salmas in northwest Iran was an archdiocese of the Chaldean Catholic Church.In the East Syrian tradition the martyrdom of the apostle Bartholemew has traditionally been placed at Salmas. Although there were East Syrian Christians in the Salmas district at least as early as the seventh century, Salmas is not heard of as the seat of an East Syrian bishop until 1281, when its bishop Joseph attended the enthronement of Mar Yaballaha III.The church of the village of Chara in the Salmas district was built in 1360 at the expense of Mar Sliba, probably the bishop of Salmas. Interestingly, the name Sliba was taken at a later period by the bishops of Jilu, a district with which Salmas was linked in the sixteenth century.
