About Klis Fortress
Croatia
Dating back to the 3rd century AD, Klis Fortress has played a significant role in Croatian history, particularly as a defensive stronghold. Perched atop a strategic ridge with panoramic views of Split, the surrounding countryside, and the Adriatic Sea, the fortress was used to protect the region from various invaders, including the Ottoman Empire. The fortress is divided into several levels, including a main courtyard, towers, and walls, many of which have been well-preserved. Klis Fortress is known for its well-maintained defensive walls, ancient gates, and vast storage areas. The fortress also gained international recognition as one of the filming locations for Game of Thrones, where it was used to portray Meereen, Daenerys Targaryen’s city. Today, it is a popular tourist destination, offering a combination of history, stunning views, and a glimpse into Croatia’s medieval past.
