About the Skull tower...There was serbian First uprise against hars turkish rule. Army of serbian rebels that were under the comand of Stevan Sindjelic, one of many comanders, decidet to put Niš fortress under the siege because it was on the strategic place. But since they didnt have siege equipment siege vent on for days. In the mean time turks send big army as a reinforcement. Serbians found themself surrounded and outnumbered. After heavy fighting seing that all is lost instead to negotiate or surender serbs decided to fight to the death for freedom. In last moments of battle with turks storming the last serbian positions Stevan Sindjelic decided to take as much enemy soldiers as he can by shooting his pistol into gunpowder storage and by that killing him and few remainig serbians and hundreds of tursks. They choose freedom by death rather than slavery. Turkish commanders were so outraged by this mowe even they have won, but with overwelming looses, that they ordered building the Skull tower as a warning how any rebels against their rule will end up. But building this tower had oposite effect. So after some time they decided to remowe it. Relatives came to take skulls of their loved ones so they can have proper funeral. Skull tower was suppost to strike fear as a reminder what happens to those who oppose turkish rule but instead became simbol that Freedom does not have a price.

Thanks for sharing your information on the skull tower! This definitely has answered the questions we had 👍 thanks for watching 😀

[@ACACARRR]

@@AshAndDan. You are welcome. I hope that you had good time visiting Serbia and that You will visit us sometimes again and have even greater time.🙂

[@danicao.6778]

​@@AshAndDan.You must have heard that Niš is actually the ancient city of Nais birthplace of Rome emperor Constantin!!!

[@dejanstanojevic6484]

Very good video. Will there be another episode in Niš:)? You must try the famous Niš barbecue (kafana Mrak) and other specialties of Niš cuisine (kafane Dagi plus, Nišlijska mehana, Kod Brke:). And of course another local and most important Niš beer (Niško pivo🍺:). What is most important historically for Nis that it is the hometown of Emperor Constantine the Great. The founder of Constantinople and one of the greatest Roman emperors. Next to the Nišava river, you have a beautiful monument dedicated to him and the Edict of Milan.

[@AshAndDan.]

Thank you! Unfortunately for now that’s our last Serbia video! However, maybe we will return in the summer months one time 👍 I did try the local beer off camera and it was very good! Thanks for sharing a bit about the history of Nis and thank you for watching 😀

[@user-qt4qd1gx5s]

Wow it is amazing that you guy do all this pretty much on your own without having tour guides or local hosts to show you around!

[@AshAndDan.]

Thank you! We try to research a little before visiting somewhere 👍 we found Nis quite a walkable city so it was easy to get around 😀 thank you for watching and hope you enjoyed the video 👍

[@user-qt4qd1gx5s]

@AshAndDan. One important detail you forgot to mention about Nis. The Latin name for the city is Naissus, and it is the birthplace of Roman Emperor Constantine. That dude was responsible for legalizing Christianity and ending prosecution of Christians throughout empire in 313. He is also the founder of modern day Istanbul, Turkey. I mean if it wasn't for him, who knows, maybe all of us would be pagans and history and the maps of Europe would look totally different.

Hvala bogu što ste posetili u Niš. to je moja Mama grada. 🤗 Mnogo je najlepši. Meni se sviđa Burek sa masom i sirom.

[@AshAndDan.]

We loved Nis! A great city packed with history! Burek was amazing! Thanks for watching 👍

[@paradoxofgodexisting]

Im glad you listen to your audience and visited pekara Anton for cheese burek, i see you dont regret it 😂 Btw, there is a sink when you walk inside, so you can wash your hands after, thats amazing idea by them.

[@AshAndDan.]

[@zivangojkovic824]

Turks wash their feet before prayer and that's why they made fountains in occupied territories. BTW round burek was invented in 15th century in Nish by turkish baker...

[@AshAndDan.]

Thanks for sharing this information! Really interesting to see that the Turks influenced some of the culture in Serbia 🇷🇸 thanks for watching 👍

[@nisexpres]

Thanks for a good video again. Bubanj in Nis there is a park for the victims who were kill by the Nazis. There is also Jasenovac in Croatia where Serbs, Gypsies and Jews were killed when the Croats were on the side of the Nazis. You missed medijana, Roman istoria, check up on the internet in Nis you have also available via militares roman road, in fact where half of Roman emperors were born in today's serbia there are under the ground to 90% not only the Romans but everything else. Why excavations are not done I don't know my thoughts but men. And come remember that Celts first built Beograd fortres before Romans.. Constantine the Great (Constantinople) actually believe that he brought Christianity to Europe, he was born in Nis.

[@AshAndDan.]

Thanks for sharing this 👍 we will need to return to Nis to visit the places we missed 😀 thanks for watching!

Burek Srbi i generalno svuda u bivšoj Jugoslaviji jede se sa jogurtom,nikako prvi burek pa na kraju jogurt.To je greska,burek zalogaj stavite usta i odma jorurt dok je burek ustima,jer jogurt pojava bolje ukus bureka
