🏙️Riga Skyline - Riga - Latvia🇱🇻 📷Nikon D750 - ISO 250 - 24-120mm lens f4G ED VR - 78mm - f/5,6 1/80 sec From left to right: ⛪Riga Cathedral (Latvian: Rīgas Doms). In 1211 the Livonian Bishop Albert of Riga ordered to build this cathedral near the River Daugava. It is considered the largest medieval🛡️ church⛪ in the Baltic States. It is commonly called the Dome Cathedral, a tautology as the word “Dome” comes from the German “Dom” meaning “cathedral”. It is known for its Rooster🐓 or weathercock. ⛪St. Peter’s Church (Latvian: Svētā Pētera Evaņģēliski luteriskā baznīca). The first mention of this church dates from 1209, it was built of masonry🧱 construction🏗️ and therefore undamaged by a city fire🔥 in Riga that year. The construction and the history of the church can be divided into 3️⃣ distinct building styles. Two of them associated with Gothic and Romanesque styles and the third with the early Baroque style. It is also known for its Rooster🐓 or weathercock. ⛪Spire of St. Saviour's Anglican Church (Latvian:Anglikāņu Sv. Pestītāja baznīca). It is Anglican church⛪, located in the north of the old town centre. The foundation stone was laid in 1857 and the church⛪ was dedicated on 26 July 1859. During the Soviet occupation the church had not use, and in 1973 it became the home of Riga Polytechnic Institute student club👨‍👨‍👧‍👧. In 1991, after latvian independence, and English-speaking congregation🛐 was again formed. 🏛️Riga City Council Tower (Latvian: Rīgas Dome). The original building was destroyed💥 during the Second World War⚔️, the current building is a true copy of the original built in 17th century neo-classical style. ❓Did you know born that that the modern denim jean that is worn by people all over the world was first invented by a Latvian-Jewish tailor and American immigrant – Jacob.
