The church of St. John the Theologician - Kaneo was built and fresco painted in the XIII century. There are no written records about it. The location of the church is among the most beautiful on the shore of Lake Ohrid. It stands on a high rock above the former fishermen's settlement of Kaneo and one of the most beautiful beaches in the old part of the town. It is crucifix in shape, and renown for its rather harmonious forms and exceptionally successfully decorated facade and dome. As both building and decorative material baked bricks and limestone were used.
