Very nice buildings and park.

Der Platz, durch welchen mal der Fluss ging, der Riga den Namen gab. Das symbolisieren die Wellen in den Blumenbeeten. Ein paar schön restaurierte Häuser, einige Restaurants und die schönen Häuser der beiden Handwerkskammern. (27.04.2025)

Beautiful square in Riga's old town with many colourful buildings. Worth passing by, especially on a sunny day where the colours are really highlighted.
