HOB Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 ARMENIAN MONASTERIAL COMPLEX NORAVANK TO BE INCLUDED IN UNESCO WORLD LEGACY LIST YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 28. ARMINFO. In the next few days the Armenian monasterial complex Noravank will be included in the UNESCO world legacy list, says the secretary general of the UNESCO national commission of Armenia's foreign ministry Karine Danielyan. This is the 4th Armenian monument on the list after Hakhpat (II-IV), Echmiadzin Cathedral and Zvartnots ruins (II-III) and Gegard Monastery. Noravank is one of the best known monuments of medieval Armenia. It is located on a gorge of Arpa 122 km of Yerevan. The complex was built in XII-XIV and was the residence of Sunik bishops. Its most ancient part St Karapet Monastery dates back to IX-X. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kakachik77 Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 why not just all of them, is Tatev Monastery anything to be missed out? I am kind of surprised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvestaked Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 (edited) Noravank is one of my favorites. I love the canyon and I love the second floor. But sitting on the roof of Datev's vank is tough to beat. (It would be extra good if they would get the damn crane out of there though.)
