Liepﾄ）a is a city in western Latvia on the Baltic sea and the administrative center of Liepﾄ）a district. It is the largest city in the Kurzeme (Courland) region of Latvia, the third largest city in Latvia after Riga and Daugavpils and an important ice-free port. As of 1 January 2007, Liepﾄ）a had a population of 85,132. The city structure was constructed to resemble a moth. Liepﾄ）a is located directly at 21ﾂｰE.
Liepﾄ）a 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 (Latvian: Pilsﾄ鍍ﾄ, kurﾄ piedzimst vﾄ屠ﾅ｡ ( audio (helpﾂｷinfo)) ) was composed by Imants Kalniﾅﾅ｡ and has become the anthem of the city. The reputation of Liepﾄ）a 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 Liepﾄ）a 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 (Latvian: Liepa) tree with its forelegs. "The flag of Liepﾄ）a has the coat of arms in the center, with red in the top half and green in the bottom. |
