Narva in the webcam, has always been a landmark due to its rich historical legacy. As a town in live broadcast, located on the border of two countries, it has been a primary battlefield for Russians and anyone else who took control over it including Denmark, Livonian order, Sweden or Germany. It, along with the twin town of Ivangorod at the opposite side of the border, has been under the control of the total of six different countries throughout history.

Although what is now a third largest city in Lithuania, was mostly an important strategic military location, it also played a huge role in the economic and infrastructural development of the region. Obviously, being situated on the very border with Russia, Narva in live camera, provided a great opportunity for trade. It also was the first Estonian town through which the railroad was built, ultimately connecting Tallinn and St.Petersburg, rapidly enhancing the trading possibilities with Russia.
