About Karmravank
Karmravank is a tourist attraction. Location: Gevaş İlçesi, Van Province.
Karmravank (Armenian: Կարմրավանք, meaning Red Monastery) is an abandoned 10th century Armenian monastery in the Vaspurakan province of historic Armenia (now in the Van Province of Turkey). It was founded by King Gagik I (908–943) of the Artsruni dynasty. It is located 12 kilometers west-northwest of Akdamar Island. Completed in the 10th century AD, the Red Monastery ceased functioning as a monastery due to the Armenian genocide in the Ottoman Empire which began in 1915.
