This is the church of St. John Kaneo!
The most famous church in Ohrid!

"The church is dedicated to the author of the Gospel according to John - St. John the Theologian (St. John the Evangelist). The exact date of construction of the church remains unknown, but documents detailing the church's property point to the year before 1447. Some archaeologists believe that the church was built shortly before the Ascension of the Ottoman Empire, most likely in the 13th century. [missing source] Works on the restoration of the church in 1963 - 1964 led to the discovery of the fresco in the dome of the church."

On the dome of the church I saw a white dove, it caught my attention as it stood there and did not move...

The first encounter with this church left me breathless!

I didn't want to go down to the church right away, I first walked on that hill above the church, where there was a path and benches. I sat there and enjoyed the view of the church, the lake and the surroundings while the sun sank lower and lower.

There were also some clouds so that the light falling on the church was never the same. There were a lot of people, some coming, some leaving. You could find a place around the church and sit for a while. Which I did....

Since I was alone on this walk, I did not want to wait for the sun to set. So I went down to visit the church, and there I enjoyed the views, where I walked around the church.
