Klisura
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Klisura (Bulgarian: Serbian: Клисура) is the South Slavic word for "pass", "gorge" or "canyon". It is derived from the Greek kleisoura, which in turn derives from the Latin clausura, a word with meaning close to castle or lock.[1] The term was applied by the Byzantines to fortified mountain districts controlling important passes.
