• Livu Square - It is astonishing to think that this Square was once the site of the Riga River, a vital shipping route for Latvian grain until the 16th century. Over time, it was known as the Rīdzene River and later Rīdziņa as it narrowed. Today, the path of the old river is a bustling walkway for both locals and tourists, with vibrant flower beds offering a nod to its historical significance.
• Powder Tower - Originally named the Sand Tower, this is one of the medieval fortification towers of Riga, constructed in 1330.
• Jekaba Iela - The Riga Archdiocesan Cathedral stands as the principal Catholic church in Latvia. Its elegant tower is the best-preserved example of the pyramidal style typical of Riga’s medieval church towers. It also holds the distinction of being the first Latvian parish church in Riga, established in 1523.
• Three Brothers - This is the oldest residential complex in Riga, dating back to the 15th century. The three closely built houses have long been known as the Three Brothers, with a legend suggesting they were constructed by members of the same family. These historic buildings now host the Museum of Architecture and the National Center for the Protection of Cultural Monuments.
• Swedish Gate (Zviedru Varti) - Known as the Swedish Gate, it is the only remaining gate of the original eight in Riga’s fortification wall.
• Riga Cathedral - The Cathedral is the largest and among the oldest sacred structures from the medieval era in the Baltic region, featuring Romanesque, early Gothic, Baroque, and Art Nouveau elements. Today, it serves as a venue for church services and concerts by both local and international musicians.
• Riga Town Hall Square - Completely reconstructed after World War II, the Town Hall Square in Riga now features the historic façade of the House of the Blackheads, the rebuilt Town Hall, and other structures. It is also the site where the city’s Christmas tree was first lit 500 years ago, commemorated by a memorial plaque, and a new tree is decorated annually.
• St. Peter’s Church - As the tallest church in Riga, St. Peter’s Church is one of the oldest and most significant examples of medieval monumental architecture in the Baltic States.
