David’s Been Here continues its tour of ancient sites in Serbia at Justiniana Prima, or “Empress’ Town” in the town of Leskovac. Considered a great day trip option from the city of Nis, Leskovac is just a two-hour drive south.
David gets together with the only English-speaking guide he could find (Nebojsa “Nebo”) to see the Byzantine ruins of Justiniana Prima located about 29 km west of Leskovac nestled among lush scenery. Justiniana Prima was an early Christian city founded by Emperor Justinian I. It served as the seat of the Archbishop from 535 to 615. The site contains what is left of an enormous basilica, the acropolis, lower town, and upper town. Walking around Justiniana Prima will reveal city walls, gates, churches, and large bath complex with hypocaust system (heated floors). Justiniana Prima served as the administrative and spiritual center of Illyricum, a Roman province that encompassed the central Balkan Peninsula.
David shows us portions of unearthed mosaics and the remains of the public bath complex, which was heated by an innovative method known as the hypocaust system in which the heat from an oven was used to heat the floors from underneath, sort of like ancient sub-floor heating. Justiniana Prima is a beautiful site that badly needs to be maintained. While the Serbian government sorts that out, you will need a guide to show you around the different areas so you know what you’re looking at.

And the last thing I want to say is... because everyone asks me: there is no problem being black in Serbia. I have experienced ZERO racism in Serbia. The Balkans is the most friendly place I have ever traveled to and a traveler being black in Serbia is not an issue AT ALL.

Занимљивости
ГВОЗДЕНА ВРАТА
Прослављени истраживач подводног света Жак Кусто мерио је поноре Ђердапа – на месту Госпођин вир речно дно се налази на дубини од 90 метара! Ђердапска клисура није само најдубља већ је и највећа речна пробојница Старог континента. Римљани су јој дали име Гвоздена врата. Данашњи назив Ђердап има корен у староперсијској речи гирдап, која значи вртлог, вир.
БЕСМРТНИЦИ СА ДУНАВСКЕ ТЕРАСЕ
Лепенски вир је најстарије урбано насеље Европе! Ту древну културу, која је пре више од 9000 година знала за геометрију, открио је археолог „срећне руке“, професор Драгослав Срејовић.
Монументалне камене скулптуре риболиких божанстава са Дунавске терасе задивиле су свет: „Родоначелник“ се сматра за први портрет у историји уметности.
БЛАГА НАЦИОНАЛНОГ ПАРКА
Ђердап по много чему носи префикс нај: најлепши национални парк Европе, највећи природњачки и археолошки музеј у природи, најстарије геолошко наслеђе... Са видковаца Велики и Мали Штрбац пружају се најнестварнији погледи на клисуру моћне реке.
ГРАДИТЕЉСКИ ПОДВИГ АНТИЧКОГ СВЕТА
Гранични римски пут, мукотрпно пробијан кроз беспућа клисуре, потопила је брана хидроелектране. Данас о том подухвату сведочи чувена табла императора Трајана. Ту је настало и једно од ремек-дела чувеног архитекте Аполодара из Дамаска – камени мост преко Дунава, за који историчари кажу да је „хиљаду година био најдужи мост на свету“.

Roman Ruins of Serbia
Roman Ruins of Serbia

Come with us as we take you to see four of the best Roman Ruins in Serbia. Serbia was under Roman rule for about 600 years, from the 1st century BC until the Slavs invaded in the 6th century. Serbia was the birth place of 17 Roman Emperors, including Constantine the Great who was the first Christian Emperor of the Roman Empire.
The first stop is ancient Sirmium in the modern day Serbian town of Sremska Mitrovica. Sirmium is a fascinating Roman imperial complex that dates back to the 1st century AD. We visit the archaeological museum for a tour of Roman artifacts: tombstones, sarcophagus, sculptures, columns, and coins.
Then we visited the 5th century Christian Basilica dedicated to St. Demetrius. Sirmium actually had one of the highest concentrations of Christian Basilicas, especially since Christianity was rapidly growing through the region in the first half of the 4th century. The first Christian Emperor Constantine spent more time during his reign in Sirmium than in any other city in the Balkans.
And lastly we visit the Imperial complex, which is preserved within a building in the center of town for all to see. What we see today are some of the original mosaics, bath system, and palace walls. Sirmium is an easy daytrip from Belgrade, it’s just a one-hour drive east on the road to Croatia.
Next up we head east of Belgrade to the Roman military base of Viminacium. It’s a fascinating archaeological park situated where the River Mlava empties into the Danube. Lubomir, an archaeologist who has worked to uncover several of the sites here takes us for a tour.
This ancient Roman military fort served at the base for the Seventh Legion Claudia in the fourth century, but it was in use well before that time since the 1st century. We walk around one of the covered excavation sites to see the ruins of ancient roads, public bath system, tiles, and human remains in the necropolis.
Viminacium is a great day trip from Belgrade especially for history lovers. The site also features a reconstructed amphitheater and beautiful visitors center, modeled after an ancient Roman villa rustica. There is also a hotel and restaurant onsite.
We now head southeast to Felix Romuliana in the town of Gamzigrad, Serbia. We take a quick tour of and visit some of the highlights of this amazing archaeological park and UNESCO World Heritage Site. He built it to commemorate his retirement from the throne and named it after his mother Romula. It is a sprawling compound spread across 10 acres.
The columns of the Imperial Palace are not completely original, but they were erected to give visitors an idea about how the atrium once looked. It holds an impressive collection of mosaics, statues including a bust of Emperor Galerius, Roman coins, and aerial photography of the site.
Lastly, we drive south close to the border of Kosovo to visit Justiniana Prima, or Empress’ Town near the town of Leskovac. Our guide Nebojsa takes us for a tour of the Byzantine ruins of Justiniana Prima.
Justiniana Prima was an early Christian city founded by Emperor Justinian I. It served as the seat of the Archbishop from 535 to 615. The site contains what is left of an enormous basilica, the acropolis, lower town, and upper town. Justiniana Prima served as the administrative and spiritual center of Illyricum, a Roman province that encompassed the central Balkan Peninsula.
We see portions of unearthed mosaics and the remains of the public bath complex, which was heated by an innovative method known as the hypocaust system in which the heat from an oven was used to heat the floors from underneath, sort of like ancient sub-floor heating. Justiniana Prima is a beautiful site that badly needs to be maintained. While the Serbian government sorts that out, you will need a guide to show you around the different areas so you know what you’re looking at.

Suva Planina Trem 1810m - Hiking Balkans
Suva planina (meaning dry mountain) is one of most spectacular places for trekking and hiking tours in Serbia.
SUBSCRIBE
Trem ( meaning - sort of a roof) is the highest peak and this name is taken from its shape (breath-taking cliff over walley)
You can get here by car from Belgrade in a 2.5 hours. Follow the highway signs to Nis, and from Nis head to Niska banja (only few kilomteres from Nis's suburbs). When you get to Niska banja ask anyone for road to Bojanine vode resort. That road curves across small villages, and it is in a very bad condition on some parts.
Unfortunately Suva planina faces lack of hotels, even any sort of accomodation although is located near big town like Nis. You can search for resorts in Niska banja spa. Private accomodation is pretty cheap and you can book a room for 7-10 euros.
Several hiking trails start from Bojanine vode(Waters of Bojana) not only to Trem peak. Except mountain home and a few parking spots there is nothing more here.
Height difference between Bojanine vode and Trem is around 900m. All hiking trails are well marked and estimated time to Trem is 3 hours.
If you travel to Serbia, here you can have several hiking and walking adventures. Clean air, beautifull see sights are some of reasons for your vacation in Serbia.
For any informations and directions do not hestitate to ask me:)
