Rezekne (Latvian: Rēzekne; German: Rositten; Russian: Резекне) is a city in the Latgalia region of eastern Latvia, also known by the nickname Latgales sirds meaning The Heart of Latgalia. Built on seven hills, Rezekne is situated 242 km east of Riga, and 63 km west of the Latvian-Russian border, at the intersection of the Moscow - Riga and Warsaw - Saint Petersburg Railways. It has a population of 35,883 (2008), making it the 7th largest city in Latvia. A Latgalian hill fort is known to have existed at Rezekne from the 9th to the 13th centuries, until its destruction at the hands of German crusaders of the Livonian Order. In 1285, the knights built a stone fortress on the site, which is today known as Rezekne castle ruins, to serve as a border post on their eastern frontier. The name Rezekne was first documented in 1285. Throughout its early history, Rezekne was attacked many times by Russian and Lithuanian forces. The town became part of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth after the Peace of Jam Zapolski in 1582 during the Livonian War ... more on Wikipedia.The text is available under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License; additional terms may apply.
