kroatien vidVid is a small town about 3 km northwest of Metković on the road that leads from Metković to Ljubusko, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The place was built on the remains of the ancient city Narona. It developed at the foot of the hill were the little river Norin flows, which is also called Norilj by locals.

After the fall of Narona (probably in the 7th century.) there is no written evidence of the settlement of this place. It is believed that this place is named due to the holy Vid from the 14th century, which is frequently mentioned in historical sources.
