Klis Fortress

Type: tvrdjava

A medieval fortress situated at 360 meters above sea level, on a gorge between Mosor and Kozjak mountains, approximately 12 km north of Split. The fortress played a major role in the history of Dalmatia — it defended the city against Ottoman conquests in the 16th century under Captain Petar Kružić. From its walls, a spectacular panoramic view stretches over Split, the Bay of Solin, and the islands of Brač and Šolta. The fortress is world-famous for the locations used during the filming of Game of Thrones — it served as Meereen in Season 4. An ideal family excursion with both historical and pop-culture layers.
