Shorzha (Armenian: Շորժա, also Romanized as Shorja; formerly, Nadezhdino and Shordzhalu) is a village located along Lake Sevan, northwest of the Artanish Peninsula in the Gegharkunik Province of Armenia. There is a 17th-century chapel and cemetery along the southern outskirts of the village. Upon the hill overlooking Shorzha, there are the ruins of a chapel, and somewhere in the vicinity are the remains of an Iron Age fort.[1]
