Narva is a border city in northeastern Estonia, located on the banks of the Narva River, across the river from Russia's Ivangorod. As Estonia's third largest city, Narva has a rich historical and cultural heritage, and its strategic location has made it a historically contested location for Sweden, Russia and Denmark. The city's most famous landmarks include the 13th-century Narva Castle and the 17th-century Hermann Tower, which displays a blend of Gothic and Baroque styles.
With a predominantly Russian-speaking and culturally diverse population, Narva is often referred to as "the gateway where East meets West". Economically, the city thrives on cross-border trade and manufacturing, and in recent years it has been actively promoting tourism, with visitors able to explore the Old Town, the Narva Museum and the riverfront. Despite being severely damaged in World War II, Narva has been rebuilt to retain its unique historical atmosphere and serves as a window into the history of the Baltic region.
