Once upon a time, Six Vukovic brothers, three rich captains and three poor priests lived on a piece of land in Bol.
One priest was called Marko and he was so grumpy and angry that they called him Marko Force.
The brothers begged him to sell the land on which his house was located on in order to build a larger house, which he did not even want to hear about.
They tried to be nice to him, offered to pay him, even went to the Mayor Vusio who tried to convince him to take the money, but Marko did not agree.
One Sunday after a heated discussion, the Mayor asked Marko if he knew how far his quill could reach, to which Marko replied, “Your quill far, and my rifle even further.”
Then the Mayor called the cops from the city of Nerežišće who started to arrest Marko, but he managed to flee from Bol to Dubrovnik, because the rule was if you did something bad in Bol, you go away for a year and then you can come back again.
Then the rich brothers started building a house around Marko’s house, and when he returned from Dubrovnik and saw what they had done, he quarreled so much with everyone that he was expelled from Bol again, this time for two years.
The three-story house was finished and the three captain’s brothers had yet to make the roof. They set out for Venice for timber, and they each went by their own boat.
They thought that when they built the roof, they could completely dismantle Marko’s house and take it out in parts through the door.
But on their way home they were caught in a great storm and both the captains and the sailors drowned and the ships sank.
This was interpreted as God’s punishment for the rich trying to take from a poor man, resulting in that kin disappearing forever.
Contributing to this is the fact that the captains were married, but only had daughters, and no male heirs, and the three priests had neither wives nor children.
That is why it is said that their whole race was erased by the finger of God, because they were inhuman.
Marko later returned and lived there until he died.
This unique cultural monument from the 19th century, where a small house is located within the walls of a three-story building, can be viewed at any time.
