Abstract
Hrad Veliš byl centrem velišského panství, které bylo rozprostřeno v okolí Jičínské kotliny. Majiteli velišského panství byly přední české šlechtické rody Vartenberkové, Trčkové z Lípy, Valdštejnové a Šlikové. Hrad byl dominantou v celé Jičínské kotlině a tvořil součást linie hradů, které střežily obchodní stezku. Veliš patřil k předním hradům na českém území a k nejdůležitějším ve východních Čechách. Historie hradu sahá na přelom 13. a 14. století. Hrad nikdy nebyl dobyt a to bylo jedním z důvodů proč bylo císařským nařízením rozhodnuto o jeho zbourání, které se uskutečnilo roku 1659. Zbytky hradu byly definitivně zničeny při těžbě čediče na přelomu 19. a 20. století.
