Košute lies in the heart of the Sinj field (Sinjsko polje), adjacent to the town of Trilj. The village is deeply rooted in Catholic tradition, centered around the impressive Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus (Presveto Srce Isusovo), a focal point for both pilgrims and locals. The surrounding fertile plains make Košute a hub for agriculture and livestock farming in the Dalmatian hinterland. Historically, Košute's location is significant as it sits at the foot of Gardun hill, the site of the ancient Roman legionary camp, Tilurium. Archaeological findings from the site are preserved in the Museum of the Trilj Region. The proximity of the Cetina River shapes local life, offering peaceful spots for fishing and riverside walks. Košute is also known for its commitment to cultural heritage, particularly traditional folk singing and customs. Local gastronomy features specialties like Cetina trout, frog dishes, and the renowned Dalmatian 'pršut' (cured ham). The villagers take great pride in their hospitality, often celebrating patron saint days with large communal feasts. For travelers, Košute provides an authentic glimpse into Dalmatian rural life, away from the tourist crowds while remaining conveniently close to Split and Sinj.
