About
Sieges, destruction, and reconstructions-it seems as if Riga Castle has survived all the calamities that can occur in the capital. Officially, the castle serves as the residence of the President of Latvia, but due to yet another fire, restoration work is underway, which does not hinder tourist tours in the slightest.
Riga Castle, like any other medieval architectural monument, is full of mysteries and riddles. At night, the ghost of a knight is often seen here, which only fuels the interest of the city's guests in the building. The castle houses a museum of foreign art, a historical Latvian museum, and its literary "brother," named after the art critic and historian Rainis.

Miejsce któremu warto poświęcić swój czas

Na prawym brzegu Dźwiny stoi wspaniały Zamek Ryski. Kamień węgielny położono 15 czerwca 1330 r., a na przestrzeni lat był on kilkakrotnie przebudowywany i rozbudowywany z powodu zniszczeń wojennych. Jest to największy średniowieczny zamek na Łotwie, wpisany na listę narodowych zabytków architektury. Trwa remont

Το Κάστρο της Ρίγας είναι ένα από τα σημαντικότερα ιστορικά κτίρια της Λετονίας, χτισμένο το 1330 στις όχθες του ποταμού Νταουγκάβα. Αρχικά κατασκευάστηκε ως φρούριο των Τευτόνων Ιπποτών, ενώ με τα χρόνια υπέστη πολλές αλλαγές και επεκτάσεις. Σήμερα στεγάζει την επίσημη κατοικία του Προέδρου της Λετονίας και φιλοξενεί κρατικά μουσεία και εκδηλώσεις. Είναι ένα αρχιτεκτονικό σύμβολο της Ρίγας που συνδυάζει τη μεσαιωνική και αναγεννησιακή ιστορία της πόλης. Η τοποθεσία του δίπλα στον ποταμό προσφέρει όμορφη θέα, ειδικά στο ηλιοβασίλεμα. Ιδανική για έναν χαλαρό περίπατο ή για να βγάλεις όμορφες φωτογραφίες με φόντο την παλιά πόλη, ενώ οι εσωτερικοί χώροι και τα μουσεία δίνουν την ευκαιρία για μια πιο βαθιά γνωριμία με τον πολιτισμό και την πολιτική ζωή της χώρας. Εντυπωσιάσει η «Ambassadors Accreditation Hall» για την πανέμορφη Art Deci οροφή της ζωγραφισμένη τη δεκαετία του 1920.
