The name Bela Palanka means 'white town' [1]. The town was originally settled by the Dacians and was known under the ancient name of Aiadava or Aeadaba [1]. After the Romans conquered Moesia in 75 BC, the new castrum and municipium was known initially as Ulpianorum and then Remesiana and stood along the Via Militaris between Naissus and Serdica [1]. The patron saint of Romania, Nicetas of Remesiana, was a 4th-century bishop at Remesiana [1].
