Tartu, University city in Southern Estonia.
Located on the banks of the Emajõgi River, Tartu contains historic wooden districts and modern architecture spread across both riverbanks.
Founded in 1030 by Yaroslav I of Kievan Rus as a fort named Yuryev, Tartu joined the Hanseatic League in the 1280s and developed into a trade center.
