Narva, Border city in northeastern Estonia

Narva stands along the Narva River with two medieval fortresses facing each other across the water, marking the Estonia-Russia frontier.

The Danish established Narva Castle in the 13th century, and the settlement received official town status from King Valdemar IV in 1345.

The population of 53,626 residents includes a substantial Russian-speaking community, creating a distinct cultural intersection between Estonian and Russian influences.

Regular bus services connect Narva to Tallinn and Tartu, with the journey from the Estonian capital requiring approximately three hours by road.

The Krenholm Manufacturing Company, established in 1857, transformed Narva into a major industrial center with one of Europe's largest cotton mills.
