Day 01
Noravank Monastery and Gnishik Canyon
Visit the Noravank Monastery to learn about the significance of this monastery in the history of Armenia. Considered one of the gems of medieval Armenian architecture, the monastery is nestled high among the stunning brick-red cliffs at the end of Gnishik Canyon.
See the only depiction of God in Armenia, which is just as astonishing as the face of Jesus Christ that appeared on the church's narthex dome. Built by an Orbelian nobleman, this noble family's sepulchre is unique, since it was prohibited to bury people inside a church from the 5th century onward.
