WEDNESDAY, 6th APRIL 2016

All the participants visited Riga – the capital of Latvia.

Riga was founded in 1201 and is a former Hanseatic League member. Riga's historical centre is

a UNESCO World Heritage Site noted for its Art Nouveau/Jugendstil architecture and 19th

century wooden architecture.

Alberta Street, Jugendstil

We started with the guided tour around Old Riga - the historical and geographical centre of Riga

on the right bank of the Daugava.

Old Riga covers a relatively small inner area of the 13th-18th century fortifications where unique

monuments of medieval architecture which, surprisingly, have survived two world wars are

concentrated:


___________________________________________________________________________

• The Dome - is the Latvian Archbishop’s cathedral and a church of the Dome parish.

• St. Peter’s Church - is one of the oldest and most valuable monuments of medieval architecture

in the Baltic States.

• Three Brothers - is the oldest block of dwelling houses in Riga. The houses are situated on

Maza Pils Street.

House of the Blackheads - originally called the New House, was built in 1334. It has been

reconstructed on numerous occasions.

Our partners could enjoy this fascinating city where centuries-old architecture and German-

influenced facades stand tall along cobble-stoned streets and the edge of the Daugava River.
