Antrium Well, Antrium doesn't have any medieval cities, seeing as our history only goes back to 2005, but as for the population and geography, Sivaris is a pretty good fit.

Here's the description of Hampmouth on Sea:
Hampmouth on Sea
Hampmouth on Sea is the Saidercrayan seaport. With its 1.2 million inhabitants, it has by far more inabitants than Saidercray's second largest seaport, Dabzanime (110,000). Saidercray's fleets (both the naval and the mercantile one) aren't very big, but whatever is necessary for their organization can be found somewhere in the harbour of Hampmouth - the headquarters of the navy, the greatest shipyards...
As the coast of Hampmouth is rather craggy, the harbour reaches far into the interior, because only the flat area very close to the river can be used. For many miles, both banks of the Hamp are hemmed by harbour buildings. The industrial quarters are close to the harbour.
The centre of Hampmouth is possibly the most modern centre of any Saidercrayan town. In 1914, the old town fell a victim of a Saiderish arson attack in order to paralyse Cray's maritime trade. After the end of the war and the foundation of Saidercray, President Nelson Quarret promised not only to rebuild Hampmouth, but to rebuild it as "Saidercray's pearl at the sea". Therefore, Hampmouth has two great boulevards and a huge park close to its centre, but has no real old town. What Hampmouth doesn't have is a huge amount of hotels, as tourists prefer the southern half of Saidercray's coast, where the cliffs have been replaced by beaches.
In consequence of the fact that many people who immigrate to Saidercray arrive at Hampmouth, the city is inhabited by a lot of foreigners. The two largest groups of them have built own quarters in the outskirts.
