Klis Fortress, also known as Tvrđava Klis in Croatian, is a medieval stronghold perched above the village that shares its name, near Split, Croatia. Its origins trace back to a small Illyrian stronghold built by the ancient Dalmatae tribe. Over its extensive two-thousand-year history, the fortress evolved from a royal castle, serving as the seat of Croatian kings, to a formidable stronghold during the Ottoman wars in Europe. Positioned strategically on a pass between the Mosor and Kozjak mountains, Klis Fortress played a crucial role in defending the frontier against various invasions, particularly during the Ottoman advance. Its location as a significant crossroad between the Mediterranean belt and the Balkan rear underscores its historical importance.

As it was in 1717, drawn by Tournefort - just a modest harbor town:

I thought it was a lab for testing the blue tooth on mobile phones :)
