Sveti Naum Monestary (near Ohrid)











Sveti Naum (Macedonian: Свети Наум; English: St Naum) is an old Eastern Orthodox monastery in the Republic of Macedonia, named after the medieval Saint Naum. It is situated along Lake Ohrid, 29 km south of the city of Ohrid near the Albanian border. The monastery gets its name from the saint who founded it. The monastery was established in the year 905 by St Naum of Ohrid himself. St Naum is also buried in the church. A surface spring near the monastery feeds directly into Lake Ohrid.
