Klausen, Administrative district in South Tyrol, Italy
Chiusa extends across the Isarco Valley at 460 meters elevation, surrounded by the Dolomite Mountains and bordered by steep rocky formations.
The first documented mention of Chiusa appears in 1027 when Emperor Conrad II granted the lands to the Prince-Bishops of Brixen.
The German language remains predominant among residents, with 91 percent speaking it as their first language, while Italian and Ladin complete the linguistic spectrum.
The town connects to major cities through National Route 12 and the Brenner railway line, offering regular transportation services to Bolzano and Bressanone.
Artist Albrecht Dürer created the painting 'Das große Glück' in 1494 from a specific vantage point in Chiusa, now marked by a commemorative stone.
