Roomassaare in Estonia |
Roomassaare harbour is the major sea port of Kuressaare. Kuressaare is considered to have been founded as a town with the establishment of a See in the 14th Century. From 1559, Kuressaare was under the rule of Hertsog Magnus, the brother of the Danish king Frederik II, who brought the village into a town (1563). Under Magnus and the Danes the town developed into an important trade center. Prosperity lasted through the "golden" Swedish age until Saaremaa was overrun by Russia in 1710. Kuressaare became a resort town with the establishment of mud baths in 1840. At present 16,000 people live in Saaremaa's administrative center.
