What you can expect

  • Discover the rich history of Niš, a city with deep roots in the Roman Empire. Begin by exploring the birthplace of Constantine the Great, the first Christian emperor and founder of Constantinople. Learn about the city's significance during the Roman era, when it was known as Naissus and served as a major urban centre and base of operations during the Roman conquest of the Balkans.

    Visit the site of the Battle of Naissus, where Emperor Claudius Gothicus defeated the Goths, and see the remains of the imperial Villa Mediana, where emperors Valentinian and Valens met to divide the Roman Empire into halves.

    As you explore, hear stories of the city's past, from its founding by the Celts to its role as a temporary residence for Constantine the Great and other Roman emperors. Learn about the city's transformation from a middle-sized town to a large city with many public buildings, and see the bronze bust of Constantine that once decorated the city.

    Finally, discover how Niš played a prominent role in the history of the Byzantine Empire, earning it the nickname “Imperial City.”
