Latvian Academy of Sciences in Riga: photos, reviews

About

The seventeen-story Latvian Academy of Sciences is located right in the "heart" of Riga, just behind the Central Market. The building itself is a widely recognized monument of the Stalinist era in the capital.

The summit of Latvia's "brain center," as Riga's residents quietly call it, is crowned by an observation deck located at a height of 65 meters. From here, anyone interested can enjoy the panorama of the Old Town and the Daugava River. Inside, the building is designed in "Soviet Baroque" style - with white marble walls, chandeliers, and traditional parquet floors, shining from the gloss. The Latvian Academy of Sciences is the premier scientific institution, fully funded and actively supported by the state.
