Afterwards we will visit Noratus village on the shore of lake Sevan. Noratus is famous for its medieval \u00a0cemetery with over 800 khachkars (cross-stone) and gravestones, carved between the 9th-17th centuries. Noratus field was the second largest field of khachkars in existence until the larger field of around 2,500 khachkars at Jugha (Nakhichevan). The cross-stones depict the scenes of farm life, weddings, figures with professional insignia. The cemetery is a majestic site set against a backdrop of snow-clad mountains in the distance.<\/span><\/p>\n
