Swedish gates in Riga: photos, reviews

About

As sad as it is, but technological progress spared hardly any of the medieval fortifications in Riga, leaving only the Swedish Gates intact. The rest have vanished into oblivion, leaving behind nothing but dust and memories, preserved in chronicles and ancient books.

The Swedish Gates got their name in honor of the soldiers' bravery who valiantly held the defense. Interestingly, it was through these very gates that they left the city. The gates can be found on Tornja Street, allowing visitors to familiarize themselves with the entire complex, which includes several nearby houses. The architectural ensemble, which includes the Swedish Gates, belongs to the Latvian Association of Architects. There's also a large library on the premises that welcomes anyone interested.
