Klaipeda Lithuania

Klaipėda is a city in Lithuania located at the mouth of the Danė River where it empties into the Baltic Sea. It is the third largest city in Lithuania and the capital of Klaipėda County. Klaipėda is recognized for its main landmarks: the sculpture Annchen von Tarau, situated in the theater square, the old sailing ship Meridianas, and the Fachwerk architecture in the Old Town. Klaipėda is also famous for its numerous sculptures. Many small sculptures such as: a mouse, guard dog, dragon, chimney sweep, post pigeons, black ghost, foot prints and others can be found hidden in the old town. The museums in Klaipėda include the Lithuanian Sea Museum and Dolphinarium, the Castle Museum, The Blacksmith's Museum, and the History Museum of Lithuania Minor. The old town of Klaipėda is small but intriguing. The theater square features a balcony from which Adolph Hitler once addressed a crowd. According to legend, Hitler was irritated because the statue depicting ""Anikė"" from a Lithuanian folk tale was not facing him, so he ordered the statue to be removed. A replica now stands in its original location.
