The Monastery of Saint Naum is a beautiful Eastern Orthodox monastery in North Macedonia known for its incredible history and stunning views. The monastery was founded in 905 AD by the Medieval Bulgarian writer and enlightener, Saint Naum. It is located in an area that is now the popular tourist destination of Ohrid. Within the monastery you can find traditional symbols of Christianity, as well as breath-taking artworks inside the buildings. The area also provides spectacular views of Lake Ohrid and is home to many other fascinating religious sites such as ancient theatres and churches. It has been a powerful pilgrimage site for centuries and continues to be a much loved attraction today.
