Noravank complex in Amaghu Valley, Vayots Dzor Province, Armenia
The monastery is sometimes called Noravank at Amaghu, with Amaghu being the name of a small and nowadays abandoned village above the canyon, in order to distinguish it from Bgheno-Noravank, near Goris. In the 13thââ¬â14th 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.
