Last month I went to Narva with excursion.
And I like it very much. The town is located in Northern Estonia, on the border
between Estonia and Russia, 200 km from Tallinn and 150 km from St.Petersburg.
Like every town has its own face which sets it apart from all other places, as
for me, Narva differs from others for its beauty and cleanliness.
I have never seen so unique view of two
ancient frontier fortresses facing each other across a river. One is Hermann
Castle and the second is Ivangorod Castle which situated over on the Russia
side. If you have never before seen Swedish medieval fortifications, in Narva
you will find those which previously enclosed the town, making it one of the
most powerful fortresses in Europe. There are many places in Narva to see. The
main sights for those who interested in the history, is visiting the Narva
Museum, housed in the famous Tall Herman Tower. There people can acquaint
themselves with displays about the history of Narva, its prewar architecture,
and the household implements of its citizens. And for art-lovers, visiting
Narva Art Gallery, - a very cosy and pleasant place, located on the Gloria
Bastion in the former military barracks - , will be interestingly. The main
exhibition area holds the art collection of merchant named Lavretsov, and there
are regular temporary exhibitions of art from Estonia as well as from other
countries. One sightseeing that amaze me by its huge territory were the
buildings Kreenholm factory which is the best example of the industrial
architecture of the 19th century. The factory, the biggest cotton
enterprise in Estonia, is located on Krenholm Island, which divides the Narva
river into two arms. There are many other places to visit like The Dark Garden,
where I have walked, The House of Boron Velio, which was built in the early 19th
century and much more. I grew my knowledge, visiting this places, of the
history, as in the past Narva was one of the most famous cities of Europe.
I liked Narva, and wish the others to go
there and have a rest at the seaside and visit many interesting sightseeing of
Narva.
