Nysa

The ancient city extends across multiple levels, featuring Roman architecture including a theater, stadium, gymnasium, library, and three preserved bridges spanning valleys.

Established in the Hellenistic period, Nysa reached its peak during Roman rule when its library, constructed around 130 AD, served as an educational center.

The theater friezes display detailed scenes from Dionysus life, while the library functioned as both an academic institution and public gathering space.

Visitors can explore the remains of the gymnasium, constructed in the 2nd century AD, which includes training areas and educational facilities on the western side.

The stadium, capable of holding 30,000 spectators, integrates into the natural terrain through a system of vaulted substructures and connecting passages.
