Highlights
- The monastery has a scenic location amidst lush pastures and vineyards on the Ararat plain, with views of Mount Ararat.
- Nestled in a narrow river gorge near the town of Yeghegnadzor, Armenia, is the 13th-century Noravank Monastery. This gorge is famed for its towering, sheer red cliffs that face the monastery. The two-storey Surb Astvatsatsin (Holy Mother of God) church, notable for its narrow staircase extending from the building facade, is the monastery’s highlight. This feature is one of the earliest instances of cantilever architecture.
- Experience the flavor of Armenian wine
- The name of the town originates from the Armenian term ‘jermuk’ or ‘jermook’, translated in Western Armenian as ‘chermoug’, which means ‘warm mineral spring’. Historian Stepanos Orbelian first documented this in the 13th century in the ‘History of the Sisakan Province’.
