The church was fully destroyed between the 10th and 13th centuries, and today’s church was built on the original foundations in the 16th century. It has been built up and extended in several phases, and the last significant restoration was made at the end of the 18th century. The icon of the Holy Assumption of St. Naum stands with its beauty and significance, which is the oldest representation of this theme.
The monastery church is known for its characteristic wood carving, which dates from the seventeenth and early part of the eighteenth centuries. When you come to Macedonia, do not miss the chance to visit the tomb of St. Naum, and to lay your head sideways on his grave. If you wait and focus, you can hear a deep rumble, which any believer will tell you is the saint’s heartbeat.
