Nisa (Ancient Greek: Νίσα or Νίσσα) was a town in Lycia near the source of the River Xanthus.
Its site has been identified as Küçükahuriyala, near Sütiğen, about 25 kilometres north of Kaş in Antalya Province, Turkey. The ruins are plentiful but in a poor state. They include part of the well-built city wall, a theatre, a stadium, a paved agora with stoa and some bases bearing inscriptions. The necropolis to the west includes sarcophagi and constructed tombs.
Apart from its mention by Ptolemy and in the Synecdemus, where it is misspelled "Misae" (Μίσαι), and in the Notitiae Episcopatuum, nothing is known of the town's history. The only known coin that it issued is of a type that does not show membership of the Lycian League.
A Christian bishopric was established in Nisa, a suffragan of the metropolitan see of Myra, the capital of the Roman province of Lycia, to which Nisa belonged. The only bishop of the see whose name is preserved in extant documents is Georgius, who took part in the Second Council of Nicaea in 787.
Nisa (also Parthaunisa) was an ancient city, located near modern-day Bagir village, 18 km southwest of Ashgabat, Turkmenistan. Nisa is described by some as the first seat of central government of the Parthians. It is traditionally assumed to be founded by Arsaces I (reigned c. 250 BC–211 BC), and was reputedly the royal necropolis of the Parthian kings, although it has not been established that the fortress at Nisa was either a royal residence or a mausoleum.
Excavations at Nisa have revealed substantial buildings, mausoleums and shrines, many inscribed documents, and a looted treasury. Many Hellenistic art works have been uncovered, as well as a large number of ivory rhytons, the outer rims (coins) decorated with Iranian subjects or classical mythological scenes.
Nisa was later renamed Mithradatkirt ("fortress of Mithradates") by Mithridates I of Parthia (reigned c. 171 BC–138 BC).
Nisa was totally destroyed by an earthquake, which occurred during the first decade BC.

Let me be your leader
Let me have control
The way I see it
It's got to be right for you
I could be your pilot
Through the stormy seas
The way you see it
It's just a case of trust in me
I could be your hero
I'll be your piece of mind
The way that I see it
It's got to be good for you
I wanna be your brother
If you need a friend
The way you see it
It's got to be right by me
Winners--losers
Takers--users
What do you see in your crystal ball for you?
Do you see an old wound fade into the blue?
I will be your lifeline
If your ship goes down
The way that I see it
You've got to have faith in me
I wanna be your partner
Through the darkest nights
The way you see it
It's always just you and me
Midnight screamers
Daytime dreamers
What do you see in your crystal ball for you?
Do you see an old wound fade into the blue?
(Charlton)
