Riga

The Hanseatic city of Riga joined the Hanseatic League in 1282 and was one of the richest east-European port cities. As an intermediary between Russia and western Europe, it was a trading hub for wax and furs as well as salt and wine. Riga still is an active member of the modern Hanseatic alliance.
