Sveti Naum (North Macedonia)

In the south of Ohrid lake, just before the Albanian border, you can reach the Monastery of Saint Naum, listed as a World Heritage Site which offers very beautiful frescoes and a beautiful panorama of the lake. The one-and-a-half-hour trip will give us the opportunity to contemplate this lake, which is also the deepest in Europe (290 m) and one of the oldest in the world. After visiting the monastery, we will set off for the village of Tushemisht, on the shores of Ohrid lake, on the Albanian side.

This shared lake is classified as a World Heritage Site for the richness of flora and fauna, and also for being one of the oldest and deepest lakes in the world. During the time of the communist regime, Tushemisht served as an example of the prosperity of the Albanian communist village, so it served as the setting for the filming of some of the greatest films of our country.

Culture and history info

NAME:

English: Saint Naum, Albanian: SHEN NAUM

The first place where the Slavs got to know Christianity is Saint Naum,

also known as Naum of Ohrid. He was a medieval Bulgarian writer, missionary among the Slav and the loyal disciple of the Slavic educators St. Cyril and Methodius, founders of the Pliska Literary School, which was the first literary school in the medieval Bulgarian Empire, also founders of the first Slavic University in Europe, in Ohrid.

You can reach the Monastery of Saint Naum, listed as a World Heritage Site which offers very beautiful frescoes and a beautiful panorama of the lake. The construction of this monastery started by st. Naum. The central church of the monastery is built in the 9th century

Nowadays, in the yard of this monastery, you can see beautiful peacocks, white and blue, contributing to the unusually peaceful atmosphere of this spot. The white ones are also known as heavens birds and are considered as a symbol of Christianity.

St Naum is buried in the church and the legend says that if you bend over his grave, you can hear his heartbeat.
