Tourist Attractions in Narva

The easternmost city of Estonia, separated from Russia only by the river of the same name. For 7 centuries several large empires fought for the right to possess Narva. That is why a powerful fortress with bastions was built on the river bank, which remains the main attraction and unbreakable stronghold of the city to this day. Together with the town hall, they are a striking example of medieval architecture. They are the only surviving buildings from ancient times.

The architecture of the 19th century is represented by the large Krenholm industrial complex, as well as the majestic cathedrals – the Alexander Cathedral and the Cathedral of the Resurrection of Christ. Unfortunately, during the war years the historical part of Narva was almost completely destroyed and it could not be rebuilt. Therefore, most of the city buildings date back to the second half of the XX century.
