SERBIAN SPA
ROADS OF ROMAN EMPERORS
-Niska Spa and Gamzigradska Spa -
Serbia is a country in whose territory was born, lived and enjoyed many Roman emperors.Of all the countries that were located on the territory of the Roman Empire, Italy is the only country in which more emperors were born than in Serbia.
The project of the Ministry of Culture "Roads of Roman Emperors" is the route in length of about 600 kilometers, and extends from Sirmium (today Sremska Mitrovica) to Sarkamen and aims to introduce visitors not only with the history of ancient Rome, but also about their daily life. The Romans as a nation respected swimming and appreciated the healing properties of water. Throughout history Romans built bathrooms and spas for relaxation and healing purposes. On Serbian territory some of the spas were established on the sources whose healing properties have been discovered by Romans.
This trip will make sure that you are at least a little closer to understanding the way of life and culture nurtured by people of Rome in ancient times and show a piece of heritage that this great nation has left behind.

Emperor Constatine is one of the monarchs born in the territory of Serbia, who is remembered around the world as a Roman emperor who accepted Christianity, by Milan Edict in 303, proclaiming Christian religion equal to other religions in the territory of the Roman Empire and thus began a new historical period. Emperor Constantine was born in Naissus (today Nis) . He had built median for the needs of his family, which unfortunately did not survive the centuries that followed, but because it is only 10 km from Nis and Niska Spa now offers the possibility to enjoy the benefits of a spa holiday, as did Emperor Constantine.
In Niska Spa you can enjoy swimming, drinking mineral water, landscaped parks or on the slopes of Koritnik. Niska Spa has five sources of mineral water, temperature range 36-38 ° C. The natural factors of falls and mud are applied in the treatment of rheumatic patients. Nature has endowed Niska spa with excellent climatic conditions because of temperate continental climate with small fluctuations during the day and night, with plenty of sunny days, as well as suitable wind rose. Soothing climate is suitable for resting and treatment.
Visiting Niska Spa is interesting thanks to the many amenities that are found in its surroundings. Probably the most interesting of all the attractive natural and historical attractions are the remains of the ancient Mediana, summer residence of Constantine the Great.
