Naissus was an ancient city and former bishopric in Balkanic Dacia, which remains a Latin Catholic titular see.
Naissus, today's Niš in Serbia, was important enough in the Roman province of Dacia Mediterranea to become an episcopal see at an early date and was a suffragan of the Metropolitan see in the Archdiocese of Sardica, in the sway of the Patriarchate of Constantinople.
The city was wrecked by Attila's Huns, but rebuilt, as the revival of the bishopric attests.
