Clissa

"Once more, a chapter from my diary. «John says we will leave Spalato to-day, on whatever boat happens to be leaving. He thinks we can take the Lesina, at five this afternoon. It is a little boat, and stops every few minutes, but we will take it, because we are in no hurry, and we find there is no express steamer for three days. As I couldn't walk, we took another drive right after breakfast. We went to visit the ruins of Salona, and took in the Falls of the Jader, Clissa, and a lot of other places which were on our way. The road to Salona runs from just outside the Porta Aurea. After a few minutes, we came to the remains of Diocletian's aqueduct, which is used to-day for the water of Spalato. […]».

«From the falls we went to a little place called Clissa, once conquered by the Emperor Tiberius, but what he wanted with it, I can not imagine. We had luncheon at a shabby inn, but did not linger in the village, for there was nothing of interest to see. Further up the road, which meanders all the way to Traü, we came to what is known as the Riviera dei Sette Castelli»" (pp. 193-195).
