Liepaja

It is the largest city in the Kurzeme (Courland) region of Latvia, the third largest city in Latvia after RÄ«ga and Daugavpils and an important ice-free port. As of 1 January 2007, Liepaja had a population of 85,132. Liepaja is located directly at 21°E. Liepaja is known throughout Latvia as "the city where the wind is born", possibly due to the constant sea breeze. A song of the same name was composed by Imants Kalniņš and has become the anthem of the city.

The reputation of Liepaja as the windiest city in Latvia has been further endorsed as the biggest wind power plant in Latvia (33 Enercon wind turbines) was constructed nearby. The Coat of Arms of Liepaja was adopted four days after it gained city rights on 18 March 1625. These are described as: "on a silver background, the lion of Kurzeme with a divided tail, who leans upon a linden tree with its forelegs. "The flag of Liepaja has the coat of arms in the center, with red in the top half and green in the bottom.
