Modern Liepaja is an industrial, cultural and educational center.
The town of Liepaja was formed in the territory between the Baltic Sea and the Liepaja and Tosmare Lakes. The port channel divides the city into two parts. Modern Liepaja is an industrial, cultural and educational center. Buildings of different architectural styles and ages are located in Liepaja within a relatively small area. Different and unique, together they compliment each other and create an atmosphere characteristic only to Liepaja. The Art-Nouveau style in Liepaja architecture is special with its restraint and laconism, perfectly fitting in the whole city building. The most characteristic buildings can be seen on Kurmajas Prospect, Ausekla iela, Kursu iela and Dzintaru iela. The serene, clean beach of Liepaja is a nice place to rest. Liepaja St.Trinity Lutheran Church (1742-1758) is famous for its organ. This organ was the largest in the world until 1912. It remains the largest in Europe.
