Mediana Mediana was once a luxurious suburb of the ancient city of Nais- sus, which was constructed during the reign of Constantine the Great as a residence where kings would stay during visits to the city. Around eighty buildings of ancient Mediana have been discovered to date, most of which are adorned with rich and well-preserved mosaics.
