In ancient times, the city ofNaronaexisted in the area of medieval Drijeva. In the written sources ofDubrovnik archive(at the timeRagusa), Drijeva appears under the name ofLat. Narenti, forum Narenti, mercatum.The first mention dates back to 1186, when the Serbian županStefan Nemanjagave the Ragusans freedom to trade in Drijeva's market. Around 1280 the market was owned by George, the son of Prince Andria. The trade with and entireNeretvaregion became part of theBosnian stateunder the Bosnian banStjepan II Kotromanić,who added entire region withZahumlje,Travunija, Primorije and Narenta, to his realm asHumin 1326 and placed it underKosača familyover-lordship. At the beginning of the 14th century, invading Serbia took control over the town for a brief period of time. Ragusans, who traded in Drijeva, paid up to six thousandducats(1356) annually for the rent. From 1357 to 1382, the market was part of the possession of the Hungarian KingLouis I.Since 1404, Drijeva was owned byBosnian dukeHrvoje Vukčić,from 1410 by Bosnian dukeSandalj Hranić,and from 1435 by Hranić's nephew, Bosnian dukeStjepan Vukčić,followed by the Bosnian KingStjepan Tomaš.TheNeretva Valleybrought goods in and out of Bosnia, including salt, livestock products and metal products. The famousBosnian slave market,known from the 11th century, was also located here. Thus, in 1080, a slave named Marko, the son of Radoslav from Neretva was sold in Drijeva.[6]At the market-town there was a customs building, salt warehouses. The Church of St. Vitus (Serbo-Croatian:Sveti Vid) in Drijeva was first mentioned in 1405 (Latin:san Vido, Sancto Vido in Narente). Bishop Lysych, who visited these lands in 1668 and 1670, reports that the church of St. Vitus is built of stone and in ruins. At present, the village called Vid exists in Croatia across the border from Bosnia, some 4 km from the site of the ancient city of Narona and medieval Drijeva, and the new church of St. Vitus built on the site of a medieval one. In Drijeva there was also a less popular church of St. Mary, which is mentioned in 1434 and 1443. In 1448, theOttomansburned the town. In 1452, theVenetiansfounded a new settlement on the opposite bank of Neretva. The first to point to the modern village of Gabela as the location of medieval Drijeva wasKonstantin Jireček.In the past, the Neretva River was a little to the west.[7][8]
