Nišava District

The Nišava District (Serbian: Нишавски округ, romanized: Nišavski okrug, pronounced [nîʃaʋskiː ôkruːɡ]) is one of nine administrative districts of Southern and Eastern Serbia.

On the outskirts of Niš there is a unique monument - the Skull Tower (Ćele kula) built by the Turks from the skulls of the Serbian warriors who died in the Battle of Čegar in 1809, led by Stevan Sinđelić, against the Turks.

After the Turkish victory, this battle was decisive for the failure of the First Serbian Uprising.

The Nišava District also features Niška Banja, one of the best known spa tourism centers in Serbia.
