'''Klis''' is a village located around a mountain fortress bearing the same name. It is located in central [[Dalmatia]], [[Croatia]], located just northeast of [[Solin, Croatia|Solin]] and [[Split]] near the eponymous [[mountain pass]]. It has a population of 2,557, totalling 4,367 together with the eight other villages in its municipality (census 2001).
The Klis mountain pass separates the mountains [[Mosor]] and [[Kozjak]] at the altitude of 360m. It has had a major strategic value throughout history, because any inland force passing through Klis would have been able to easily reach the entire region of [[Split]] and [[Kaštela]]. During the [[Ottoman wars in Europe]], an already existing Roman [[fortress]] on a nearby hill was expanded into Klis Fortress.
Due to its geographical position, Klis is also susceptible to a rather strong [[bura wind]].
