The total length of the Gorge from North to South is 8 km. The Gnishik River originates from the Noravank Gorge, water of which gave birth the rich flora of the reserve with \u00a0its \u201cgolden stock\u201d that encompasses about 200 endemic species.\u00a0 The fauna of the Reserve is also diverse.<br \/>\nThe greatest medieval treasure of the Arpi Natural Historical Reserve is the medieval historical-architectural complex of Noravank. It was the Seat of the Syunik Diocese in XII-XIV centuries. Reps of the Orbelyan Prince House of Syunik were very active here.<\/p>\n<p>The monastery complex surrounded by higher cliffs includes St. Karapet Church, which was originally built in the IXth \u00a0century. The complex also includes St. Stepanos Church and its Courtyard (XIII c.), St.Gregory the Illuminator Mausoleum-Church (XIII century) and other monastic buildings. The crown of the Noravank monastery and the Orbelian construction works in general is fairly considered a genius work by architect Momik, &#8211;\u00a0 St. Astvatsatsin-Burtelashen two-storied mausoleum &#8211;
