Noravank: Monastery Hidden in the Rocks of Armenia

Описание к видео Noravank: Monastery Hidden in the Rocks of Armenia

Noravank, meaning “new monastery,” is one of the medieval architectural masterpieces of Armenia. Arriving to the complex adds to the charm, as a winding road through the red rock cliffs of the Gnishik Canyon finally reveals the monastery of the same color. The carvings, the steps leading the the second floor, and how it blends into the environment makes it feel it has always been and belonged at that spot. Originally started construction in 1204 A.D., most of the structure was completed a century later by Momik, a skillful architect and sculptor, who is credited to the unique design and mesmerizing details.
