Elbląg, Medieval port city in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland.

The city stands at the intersection of the Elbląg River and Nogat River, featuring restored red-brick buildings and a reconstructed historic center.

Founded by the Teutonic Knights in 1237, Elbląg became a prominent Hanseatic League trading port connecting Poland with major European maritime routes.

The Market Gate from 1309 and Saint Nicholas Cathedral represent significant examples of medieval Baltic architecture preserved through careful restoration efforts.

The Elbląg Canal, constructed in 1872, provides both transportation infrastructure and recreational opportunities, connecting the city with the inland port of Ostróda.

The city underwent an extensive archaeological-based reconstruction project in 2000, rebuilding its medieval structures according to original foundations and historical documentation.
