Byzantijska Street in the Niš Fortress is one of the archaeological sites and a unique spatial ambient unit on the central plateau of the ancient imperial Nais in the immediate vicinity of the Bali-beg Mosque. Namely, it is a public, representative part of the ancient city, with all the features that characterize the late antique – Tetrachian architecture. Archaeological excavations at this site, in the Niš Fortress, which were carried out from 1962 to 1963, for the first time discovered the material remains of this ancient street. Archaeological findings resulting from these excavations indicate that the street on the central plateau may have been built between the 5th and 6th centuries, and that it can be associated with the reconstruction of the city carried out in the post-Constantine time.
