All the city grew around the castle and met a long period of prosperity when it was part of the Hanseatic League (a federation of traders in the Baltic Sea). Like the city of Riga, Cesis could coin money and thought that was the cradle of the national flag. Wars and epidemics destroyed and decimated the city like so many others and it was not until the late nineteenth century Cesis thrive again. Its medieval old town, castle ruins and the Church of San Juan are the main attractions of the city.
