Perched above the coastal plains, Klis Fortress served for centuries as the key defensive stronghold and the only natural crossing through the mountains that run along the Dalmatian coast. The two-hour walking tour walks that history alongside on-screen moments—visitors move through locations used in Game of Thrones, from Daenerys’ Throne to the Artillery Barracks, while taking in the fortress’s commanding position over Middle Dalmatia.

A strategic stronghold for Middle Dalmatia
Klis Fortress was long the key to the defence of Middle Dalmatia and stood as the only natural crossing through the mountains that border the coast—a position that shaped its military importance and the settlement pattern around it.
Game of Thrones revived the site
The fortress gained new international attention when scenes were filmed there as the city of Meereen—most notably sequences connected with Daenerys Targaryen—bringing visitors eager to see recognizable sets and viewpoints.
A draw for history and pop-culture travelers
The combination of strategic medieval architecture and high-profile filming locations creates a layered appeal: the fortress is both a tangible relic of regional defence and a contemporary pilgrimage site for fans.
