koevedos

Koevedos is a coastal city and administrative center in the archipelago region of Valaria. It serves as the seat of Koevedos Municipality within Valarian Province and lies at the mouth of the Tavel River, facing a natural harbor that has supported maritime activity for centuries.

The city sits on low-lying coastal plains with hills to the east. The climate is temperate maritime, with moderate rainfall, mild winters, and relatively cool summers. Protected harbors and channels shape the urban layout and commercial districts along the waterfront.

Koevedos began as a medieval trading post in the 9th century; by the 12th century it had municipal status. Fortifications added in the 15th century anchor the Old Quarter, while the arrival of rail in the 19th century spurred industrial and residential growth.

Today the economy centers on port activities, logistics, and light manufacturing, with fishing and aquaculture making local contributions. The harbor handles freight and passenger traffic, and Koevedos is connected by a regional rail line, highways, and ferries to nearby islands.

With an estimated population around 140,000, Koevedos hosts museums, theaters, and a university campus. Cultural life centers on the Seafaring Festival and the historic waterfront market, which celebrate the city's maritime heritage and regional crafts.
