Summary

[edit]
Description

Erešova kula (Ereš tower)

The so-called Ereš Tower stands next to the fourth Hellenistic tower in the south-west section of the city walls, built by the pastor of the village of Vid, Fr. Bariša Ereš. The tower consists of a main two-story house and two minor extensions and was constructed from 1825 to 1851. The Ereš Tower is something of an outdoor epigraphic museum because a number of Latin inscriptions and other monuments from ancient Narona were built into its walls. A total of forty inscriptions in Latin and two inscriptions in Croatian were found in the house. Some of these Latin inscriptions are Ereš’s transcripts of Roman originals. In addition to the aforementioned monuments, the walls incorporate a Roman cippus, an Early Christian impost, two ancient male torsos made of limestone, and the base of an Early Christian altar. This unique display of ancient monuments from the nineteenth century – the first epigraphic ‘museum’ of ancient Narona – can be visited as a part of the tour of the city walls.
