History
A dagger of stone ramparts guarding the mountain pass above Split. For 2,000 years Klis was the key to Dalmatia — held by Romans, medieval Croatian kings, Ottomans and Habsburgs in turn. The views over Split and the islands are absurd.
“Klis played the city of Meereen in Game of Thrones — Daenerys freed her slaves from these very walls.”
