Introducing Niš
Niš is mostly used as a stopover on the way to Sofia, Skopje or Thessaloniki. It hasn't much to lure the visitor, except for the infamous tourist attraction, the Ottoman skull-tower known as Ćele Kula.

Niš was first settled in pre-Roman times and flourished during the time of local boy made good, Emperor Constantine (AD 280-337). His extensive palace ruins lie 4km east of the town.
Turkish rule lasted from 1386 until 1877 despite several Serb revolts; the Ćele Kula is a grim pointer to their failure. The massive Tvrđava citadel is a reminder of the Ottoman supremacy.
