Kijevo ist ein kleines croatisches Dorf, das in einem fruchtbaren Tal zwischen den Bergen Dinara und Svilaja liegt. In der Nähe befinden sich der höchste Gipfel der Dinara und Kroatiens - Sinjevo - und die Quellen der Flüsse Cetina und Krka. Das Dorf wurde erstmals im 14. Jahrhundert unter dem Namen Kij erwähnt. Archäologische Funde aus dem Paläolithikum, dem späten Neolithikum und der illyrischen Zeit zeugen von der langen Geschichte der Bevölkerung in diesem Gebiet. Es gibt zahlreiche Überreste spätantiker Architektur, eine frühchristliche Kirche und altkroatische Gräber sowie den alten Friedhof mit stećak-Grabsteinen. Kijevo wurde während des Heimatkriegs 1991 schwer beschädigt und erholt sich noch immer.

From the peak of Pinara and Croatia, there are magnificent views of the sources of the rivers. Remains of late antique architecture and old Croatian graves are some sights to behold while here. Am glad to know of the rich history of this place.

There's a great rich history to listen , learn and love and is evidenced by the archaeological remains from the Paleolithic, Late Neolithic and Illyrian period. I loved how the tour guide elaborated everything to us. The fact that Kijevo is found between two mountains, attributes to its scenic beauty.

The location of the village between the two mountains itself is fascinating and something to marvel at. I loved the aerial view of the place and its beauty is unmatched. A great place to visit.

The village gets its lively attractions from the mother nature. As an agriculture expert , the rich agricultural techniques and farming methods used was very motivating. Very educative.

The architectural art and designs of the buildings did much of the talking. The early churches had a unique interior design and decor that a was outstanding from the other churches. A good place to visit.

The village is richness in archaeological history fascinated me as a History major student. I visited the old Croatian grave and the cemetery to pay my respects to the fall souls. An amazing place to learn history .
