Archeology Hall of the National Museum – In the Archaeological Hall, you will have the opportunity to get to know the civilizational development of Serbia and Europe from prehistory to the Middle Ages. Here, among other things, a valuable treasure of ancient Naissus awaits you, such as sculptures of Roman deities, coins, mosaic pieces, temple fences, as well as a portrait of the most famous Roman born in Niš – Constantine the Great.
The Fortress – Niš Fortress is one of the most beautiful and best preserved medieval fortresses in the Central Balkans. It visually dominates the city center and occupies an area of 22 hectares. The mighty, stone ramparts are 2100 meters long, 8 meters high and 3 meters wide. It was built by the Romans, Byzantines and Serbs, demolished and rebuilt several times, to be given its final appearance by the Ottomans in 1730. Apart from the well-preserved massive stone walls and gates, numerous remains of the turbulent history of Niš can be seen in The Fortress.
Archeological park Mediana – Archeological park Mediana is a luxurious suburb of the ancient city of Naissus (today’s Niš), which was built at the end of the III and the beginning of the IV century during the reign of the Roman emperor Constantine the Great and his successors. Today, Archeological park Mediana is one of the most important archeological parks in Serbia, in which the remains of a luxurious villa with a peristyle, the remains of two early Christian churches, parts of a granary, military barracks and water towers can be seen on an area of 40 hectares. Visitors can also see more than 1,000 square meters of valuable floor mosaics, which evoke a part of the luxury of this unique royal residence.
