Klis medival fortress is where the show filmed Daenerys plotting her return to power, situated above a village bearing the same name, near the city of Split. Klis fortress, from its origin as a small stronghold built by the ancient Illyrian tribe Dalmatae, becomes a royal castle that was the seat of many Croatian kings. Klis Fortress has guarded the frontier, being lost and re-conquered several times throughout its more than two thousand year-long history.

Salona was an ancient city and capital of Roman province on the Dalmatian coast located in modern-day Croatia. The name Salona preserves the language of the early inhabitants of this area whom the Romans called Dalmatae, and considered to be part of a larger group called Illyrians. Salona (or Salon) is situated near today's town of Solin, about 5 km from Split.

In the first millennium BCE, the Greeks had set up an emporion (marketplace) there. After the conquest by the Romans, Salona became the capital of the Roman province of Dalmatia.

Salona was largely destroyed in the invasions of the Avars and Slavs in the sixth and seventh centuries CE. Refugees from Salona settled inside the remains of Diocletian's Palace
