Naissus city complex, Mediana, Nis

Naissus city complex, Mediana, Nis

Modern city of Nis is one of the biggest cities in the country, having well over 300,000 people; however, it counts into one of the oldest as well. Strategic location in Central Balkans, on the main road-crossroads between Thessaloniki and Athens in south and Constantinopolis and Asia in the east, have made Nis one of the Balkans most fierce battlefields for centuries. These are the remains of Roman Naissus, place where one of the greatest late-Roman period emperors, Constantine the Great, was born and had his palace.
