Tradicijska arhitektura u Vidu
(Kuća Markota ili Erešova kula)
Stari dio mjesta Vid naselje je zbijenog tipa, pogotovo dio naselja smještenog na sjevernoj padini brežuljka dok se u drugim dijelovima mjesta radi o raštrkanom tipu koji čine skupine objekata u kojima su živjeli krvni srodnici. Tu se najčešće nalaze dvoetažne kuće koje su izgrađene uglavnom od neobrađenog kamena obilno povezanog žbukom te su pokrivene dvoslivnim krovom. Ukoliko je korišten obrađeni kamen, onda se radi o sekundarnoj upotrebi ostataka rimske arhitekture, bilo običnih kamenih blokova pa sve do dijelova arhitekture, kao i kamene dekoracije, skulpture i natpisa koji su obično uzidani u vanjski plašt zida kako bi bili vidljivi. To pokazuje i određeno znanje i svijest tadašnjih stanovnika Vida i graditelja tih kuća koji nisu uništili i skrili ulomke rimskih spomenika, nego određenu vrstu ponosa i želje da baš ta spolija ukrasi njihov dom. Najvažniji su primjeri toga kuće Bukovac i Markota te Erešova kula, a potječu s početka 19. stoljeća. Zanimljivo je da velik broj ovih kuća prvotno nije imao stambenu funkciju, već skladišnu jer je u njihovim prizemnim prostorijama bila konoba, tj. spremište vina i drugih plodova, a na katu prostor u kojem se povremeno moglo prespavati. Razlog je ovome taj da su vlasnici velikog broja ovih konoba bili stanovnici iz okolnih neretvanskih sela kojima je Vid bio najbliže pristanište za izvoz njihova uroda.
Traditional Architecture in Vid
(Markota House or Ereš Tower)
The old part of the hamlet Vid is a settlement of a compact type, in particular the part of the settlement located on the Northern slope of the hill while in the other parts of the settlement it is a scattered type settlement comprised of groups of facilities in which blood relatives used to live. Most often, these are two-story houses built mostly from unprocessed stone abundantly bound with plaster and covered in a gabled roof. If processed stone was used, then this was a secondary use of the remnants of the Roman architecture, either common stone blocks and parts of architecture or stone decoration, sculptures and inscriptions usually built into the outer jacket of the wall in order to be visible. This also shows certain knowledge and awareness of the then inhabitants of Vid and builders of those houses who did not destroy or hide the fragments of the Roman monuments but rather showed a certain degree of pride and desire for this spolia to decorate their home. The most important examples of this are the houses Bukovac and Markota and the Ereš Tower, dating back to the beginning of the 19th century. It is interesting that a large number of these houses originally did not have the function of a home but were rather a storage because in their ground-floor premises there used to be a tavern, i.e. a storage for wine and other produce, while in the upper floor there was space in which one could occasionally sleep over. The reason for this is that the owners of a large number of these taverns used to be the inhabitants from the surrounding Neretva villages for whom Vid used to be the closest dock for the export of their produce.
