'Narva, the bridge to Ivan city'.

 

In the picture, Narva Castle, located on the left bank of the Narva River, 14 kilometers from the Gulf of Finland, was founded in the second half of the 13th century; the first mention of the castle dates back to 1277. A city arose around the fortress, which in 1345 received the rights of the city of Lübeck. On the right bank of the Narva River, the Ivangorod fortress (Jaanilinn) was founded in 1492 by Ivan III.
