Aparank Monastery or Aparanq , or Holy Cross Aparank, is an Armenian monastery located in modern-day Turkey, Van province near the city of Bahçesaray. It is part of the historical Armenian province of Moxoene.
Aparank monastery was founded in the 10th century to house a relic of the True Cross. The church was restored and expanded in the 17th century, and it was abandoned during the first half of the 20th century after the Armenian Genocide. Pre-genocide, it consisted of the churches of Surb Hovhannes Karapet , Surb Astvatsatsin , and the chapels of Surb Stepannos and Surb Arakelots , a gavit, a fountain, and a hotel.
