Klis

Klis (Croatia)

Klis is a village in central Dalmatia, Croatia, located just northeast of Solin and Split near the eponymous mountain pass. It has a population of 2,557, totalling 4,367 together with the eight other villages in its municipality (census 2001).

The Klis mountain pass separates the mountains Mosor and Kozjak at the altitude of 360m. It has had a major strategic value throughout history, because any inland force passing through Klis would have been able to easily reach the entire region of Split and Kaštela. During the Ottoman wars in Europe, a fortress was built in Klis on a nearby hill.

Due to its geographical position, Klis is also susceptible to a rather strong bura wind. Klis homepage
