There are many places of interest in Armaenia as Armenia is an open museum in the open air . I suggest the tourists visit Noravank as soon as they put foot on Armenian land. These are pictures evidencing that a am right. you will find Noravank a fascinating place to visit, you will also enjoy the surrounding mountins.Here is information about it. Noravank (Նորավանք, meaning new monastery) is a 13th century monastery, located 122 km fromYerevan in a narrow gorge made by the Darichay river, nearby the city of Yeghegnadzor, Armenia. The gorge is known for its tall, sheer, brick-red cliffs, directly across from the monastery. The monastery is best known for its two-storey S. Astvatsatsin church, which grants access to the second floor by way of narrow stones jutting out from the face of building. The monastery is sometimes called Amaghu-Noravank, Amaghu being the name of a small recently destroyed village above the canyon, in order to distinguish it from Bgheno-Noravank Monastery, near Goris. In the 13th–14th centuries the monastery became a residence of Syunik's bishops and, consequently. a major religious and, later, cultural center of Armenia closely connected with many of the local seats of learning, especially with Gladzor's famed university and library.
