Drijeva, also known as Narenta, was a medieval customs and market town located on the banks of Donja Neretva in what is today the village of Gabela, Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In the written sources of Dubrovnik archive (at the time Ragusa), Drijeva appears under the name of Lat.
The first mention dates back to 1186, when the Serbian župan Stefan Nemanja gave the Ragusans freedom to trade in Drijeva's market.
The trade with and entire Neretva region became part of the Bosnian state under the Bosnian ban Stjepan II Kotromanić, who added entire region with Zahumlje, Travunija, Primorije and Narenta, to his realm as Hum in 1326 and placed it under Kosača family over-lordship.
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.
The first to point to the modern village of Gabela as the location of medieval Drijeva was Konstantin Jireček.
