Sažetak
The paper is publishing the sketch of the plan of the road Klis – Split from the period
of the French administration, kept in the Cartography Collection of the State Archives in
Zadar. This is a part of the road Split – Sinj. The road was designed, at the initiative of the
French military governor Auguste Marmont, probably by the engineer Frane Zavoreo, who
was highly experienced in road building in Dalmatia. The road was built in 1807, and its
construction was participated, besides the local population, also by the French soldiers. By
resolution of the Spit Municipal Council, the entire road from Split to Sinj was named the
Marmont's Road.
The sketch of the plan consists of three sheets showing the area between Klis and Solin.
Missing is the sheet showing the location of Rupotine. The fourth sheet shows longitudinal
and transversal cross-sections of the road and the drawing of the arched bridge. Longitudinal
cross-sections are presented till Split. In the map and the sheet showing the longitudinal
and the transversal cross-sections presented are lots of information related to the local
topography and toponymy. Two route variants were discussed, and built is the rout via the
Rupotine village that surrounds the Klis fortress and the Greben ridge at the northern side.
This route had been used even earlier as a footpath, but now it was made into the state
that enabled using it for car traffic. The total length of the road was 6 km, but because it had
been used before and the speed of construction for military reasons, there were certain
deviations from the then road building standards. Firstly this is about steep inclinations at
certain parts and the so called lost descents. Another, never built, route was by most of its
length use the Venetian caravan road route via the localities of Bili brig, Varoš and Bađana.
The constructed route had been in use until the new, Austrian, road as built in 1849-1850.
This is the first car road that connected the coast and the hinterland after the Roman times,
and sections of a larger part of the route are still in use as a local road.
