Niš Fortress

The fortress represents the most prominent sight and symbol of Niš, positioned near the core of the city on the banks of the rapidly flowing Nišava river. The current fortifications being Turkish and dating from the 18th Century, it's one of the best preserved in the central Balkans. The Fortress covers 22 hectares, its walls are 2,100 meters long, 8 meters high, and, on average, 3 meters wide.

Čegar Hill

This is the location of a famous battle that would become the first of many Serbian Uprisings against the Turks. Symbolising a military fortification, the monument that was built to commemorate the battle. It  is a picturesque tower, inside there is a spiral staircase which can be climbed to a narrow terrace encompassing the top. Views of the city and surrounding countryside are a long way from the bloody scenes of yesteryear. 

The Skull Tower

A fearsome monument to the tyrannous wrath of the Turks, the skull tower represents an important part of the story of Turkish rule here. After 400 years of turbulent governance, and many bloody battles, the Turks were getting a little sick of the Serbs' unrepentant resistance. Following the massacre at Čegar, the Turkish (emperor) ordered the Serbian dead decapitated. Then, as a gory and graphic deterrent the skulls were built into a tower, a few kilometres from the centre of Niš. Starting with 952 heads, only 58 remain - the tower having been plundered by desperate relatives trying to find their loved ones for burial. The errie remnants of the tower remain spooky and mysterious. As history tells it, the tower was built in vain; Niš was liberated less than a generation later, in 1878.

Mediana Archeological Site

Built during the reign of Constantine the Great (4th Century), Mediana is now a protected archeological site. The inhabitants of Roman Naissus apparently settled not only in the core of the city but also its surroundings. Thus it has become clear that Mediana represented an important epicentre of distribution, supplying goods and basic food products for the empire.
Located on what was then 'Via militaris' (military road), now the Niš - Sofia road, the estate occupies 40 hectares and exhibits the remnants of a granary, craft centre, villas, thermae, and the remains of an ancient villa with rich mosaics, most of which depict geometrical or floral motifs. The museum contains sculptures and portraits of Roman gods and goddesses, utensils for daily use (bowls, pitchers, lamps) and lead pipes used to provide healing hot water from the nearby Niška Banja (Niš Spa).
