Fortress Klis (Impregnable)
Made by Load.Error
The Fortress of Klis is situated some 15 km away form Split, It used to have a significant defense role due to its strategic importance. The Ilyrian tribe, Delmats, had populated this region since 2nd century BC. The most turbulent historic period od Klis took place in the early 16th century during the greatest penetration of Turks into Croatian parts. For two and a half decades the fortress of Klis endured the Turkish attacks and sieges. In 1537 the Turks conquered Klis, and for the following 111 years the river Jadro was the border between Turkish Klis and Venetian Split. It was not until 1648 that the Venetian army, supported by local population, after bloody combats, released Klis form the Turks.
