Beautiful east: Riga

Posted by Mirko Herzner (Mühlheim am Main, Germany) on 19 August 2008 in Cityscape & Urban.

Rigas townhall (right) was rebuilt after the original one burnt down. Today the place is truly the center of the old town again and as pleasant a sight as could be. Map?

Nice cityscape. And the rebuilt was really a great job, if this townhall is now the center of the old town…

Such a richly detailed image. Beautiful. I can imagine the impact on the town after the town hall burned. This is lovely.

Very pretty! The colors are so bright, it almost seems magical. And the architecture is gorgeous. Latvia is one of the countries that I would really love to visit... :) Hope you had a good time!
