In a few sentences

In brief

The Old and New Nysa store traces of various urban functions.

Useful to know

The Parthian fortresses of Nysa in Turkmenistan include two archaeological hills - Star and New Nysa. They are associated with the Parthian Empire and store residential, state and religious architectural remains. [1]

UNESCO celebrates a meeting of local traditions with Hellenistic and Roman influences. This does not mean that all premises have one origin or purpose. When reconstructing, check which part was revealed and which was hypothetically restored. The comparison between the different functions helps to see the urban ensemble beyond the common name "fortress".
