Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the dynamic-content-for-elementor domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information.

Getting There<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Located 18 km west of the city of Ashgabat, on the outskirts of the village of Bagir, the attraction can be reached either by taxi or city buses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to Expect<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Old Nissa is a secluded royal fortress on a hill called Mithridatkert, founded by Mithridates I in the 2nd century BC. Until the 1st century AD, it served as a burial place for the Parthian kings, until the younger line of the Arshakid dynasty ascended the throne and Arbela became a royal tomb. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are several buildings in Old Nissa: the Square House, a building that served as a royal treasury, was built in the II-I centuries BC. It was a building measuring 60 by 60 meters, without windows, with a central open courtyard around which there were 12 rooms. The most famous finds in the “house” are the so-called “statue of Rodoguna”, “the statue of the eastern goddess” and numerous rhytons.<\/p>\n\n\n
