Ludza

Claimed to be the oldest town in Latvia — a distinction marked by a key in its coat of arms — Ludza sits on the shore of Lake Lielais Ludza in the Latgale region of eastern Latvia, close to the Russian border. The modest town serves as the administrative centre of Ludza Municipality and offers lakeside access in a rural landscape.
