Armenia, Vayots Dzor region. Monastery of the Armenian Apostolic Church. The monastery is sometimes called Noravank at Amaghu, with Amaghu is the name of a small and now abandoned village above the canyon in order to distinguish it from Bgheno-Noravank, near Goris. In the 13th-14th centuries, the monastery became the residence of the bishops of Syunik and, consequently, a major religious and then cultural center of Armenia, closely connected with many local places of study, especially with the famous University and the library of Gladzor.
