Jelgava is a pearl from the ashes of Zemgali region of Latvia.

In 1944, for 10 days during the fighting in the Second World War, the city of Jelgava was completely destroyed. It was restored after the war in a new Soviet style. This process was slow and the city remained in ruins for many years. At the entrance to Jelgava from the bridge over Lielupe, the proud Jelgava Palace appears before your eyes. Once this palace was owned by the Duke of Courland, and this is the second building of the great Rastrelli in Latvia, which was created almost simultaneously with the Rundal Palace. The first wooden castle in Jelgava was built by the Crusaders in 1265. Construction of St. Riga. The Trinity-Sergius convent was started in 1897. Six nuns came from Riga, built a small hut in the forest and began to live there. The Museum of Christmas Battles is located in the Jelgava district towards the Baltic Sea. The museum preserves unique field fortifications, elements associated with the battle of the First World War. Tyrelpurvs and Lojmeteykalns (machine gun slide) is the legendary site of the 1916 Christmas Battle.
