The Baltic is one of the most overlooked parts of Europe, but it won’t leave you disappointed if you’re a huge architecture lover. Charming historic buildings can be found in every Baltic capital, including Riga and Latvia, and here are three you should consider checking out during your visit.
Three Brothers
The Three Brothers complex may not look as much as first, but you’ll come to appreciate it once you learn the backstory behind it. This trio of buildings does a great job capturing the architectural evolution of Riga because every building was constructed in a different style that shaped Riga over the centuries: Gothic, Renaissance, and Baroque architecture.
House of the Black Heads
The timeless symbol of Riga’s Old Town, the House of the Blackheads is one of the buildings you shouldn’t miss for the world while exploring Riga. Its beautiful façade is decorated with ornate sculptures and intricate decorations that will take you centuries back in time.
Riga Cathedral
A visit to Riga is incomplete if you don’t check out one of the most popular landmarks of the Latvian capital. This charming Gothic church proudly graces the city’s skyline, and it went through many reconstructions over eight centuries but always stood tall as the city’s timeless symbol.
