Mediana is an archaeological site on the outskirts of Niš, once a luxurious Roman villa with outbuildings, baths, and granaries. Visitors can walk among the ruins and view remarkably preserved mosaics depicting mythological scenes, as well as artifacts like coins and pottery. The site provides a vivid window into the opulent lifestyle of Roman elites during Constantine's era.
