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.
