Marijampolė, Industrial center in southern Lithuania
The city extends along both sides of the Šešupė River, with six bridges connecting different neighborhoods across the 205-square-kilometer urban area.
Originally established as Pašešupė village in 1667, the settlement received its current name after the establishment of a monastery funded by Franciska Butler in 1765.
The municipal drama theater and regional museum preserve Lithuanian traditions through performances and exhibitions that reflect the heritage of Suvalkija region.
The city connects to major transportation routes including Via Baltica and European route E28, providing direct access to Poland and Kaliningrad Oblast.
The city changed its name multiple times throughout history, including a period from 1955 to 1989 when it was called Kapsukas under Soviet rule.
