This monastery dates from the 13th century and is completely different from other Armenian monasteries. "Noravank" means "new", so this the the "New Monastery". On its first floor, the mausoleum of Prince Burtel Orbelian and his family. Right on its façade, a narrow stone-made staircase (very dangerous, I must say) leads to the upper floor and to "Surb Astvatsatsin", the "Holy Mother of God Church"! It is a major religious and cultural center in Armenia and its visit could be combined with the one to "Khor Virap Monastery", as both monasteries are not very far from each other. Enjoy!

Not far, on the road before the Jermuk waterfall is the the ark. You can take a walk thru a well build path, climbing up to the higher part or the water trail

Peculiar sight, super different and unique being in Armenia as Jewish aspect of it beautifully situated by the river. A short visit but close to other sights.
