20 km south of Sevan, near Gavar, is Noratus village, with the largest khachkar cemetery in the world. Elaborate carvings describe the lives and often gruesome deaths of those buried here. With a small burial chapel. Another 500 m south is the tiny church of Daputs Vank.
A rarely visited monastery overlooking Lake Sevan. It's a 9th- to 12th-century complex with church, chapel and "gavit" or entrance hall, surrounded by many "khachkars" - elaborately carved gravestones. Nearby are remains of a Bronze Age settlement.
