The shrine is located on the shore of the famous Ohrid Lake, 30 km from the center of Ohrid. The monastery was founded by one of the disciples of Cyril and Methodius - Naum of Ohrid around the 9th century AD. Subsequently, the relics of St. Naum were buried in the monastery.

The cathedral building is designed in the neo-Byzantine style and resembles early Christian churches. The facades are decorated with decorative details, the color scheme includes shades of pink, blue and brown. The interior is also worthy of attention: the cathedral is decorated with a large carved altar, the design uses Albanian eagles - one of the main symbols of the state.

Lake Ohrid has no analogues on the entire Balkan Peninsula. Scientists call its ecosystem unique: more than 200 endemic (not found elsewhere) species live in the reservoir and its surroundings. Ordinary tourists come here to admire the picturesque landscapes, swim in the clean water and relax on the beaches. The tourist center is the city of Pogradec located on the shore.
