Klis

         KLIS - it lies between mountains Kozjak and Mosor, eleven kilometres from Split. The core of the settlement is below the medieval fortress. In the early Middle Ages, it was a fortified country centre, mentioned for the first time in 852. There was also the court of Croatian princes. Although it was well fortified, the Turks took it in 1537, and after that became the masters of all Dalmatian except coast that was held by Venice. Today, the fortress houses a historical collection.

         In Klapavice, not far from Klis, there is the archaeological site Rizinice with the remains of the PreRomanesque church, the foundation of the prince Trpimir from 852. The stone fragment with wattle-work decoration and the Latin inscription Pro duce Trepim (ero)... was also found there.
