Where History Meets Fantasy Above Split

Perched dramatically between the Mosor and Kozjak mountains, Klis Fortress is a striking medieval stronghold just 20 minutes from Split. Once a key defensive post guarding Dalmatia for over 2,000 years, it now offers visitors panoramic views of Split, the Adriatic Sea, and nearby islands like Brač and Šolta. But Klis isn’t just about breathtaking scenery—it’s also a pop culture icon. Fans of Game of Thrones will recognize it as Meereen, the city where Daenerys Targaryen launched her campaign of liberation. The fortress’s raw stone walls and dramatic staircases were used in several iconic scenes, adding a surreal layer of fantasy to your visit. Whether you're a history buff, a fantasy fan, or simply chasing fresh air and epic views, Klis Fortress delivers. Wander its ancient ramparts, soak in the silence, and imagine dragons soaring overhead.
