THE SOUL OF RIGA
White Tower — Riga Castle
History & Facts
Riga Castle was built in the 14th century and has undergone many reconstructions. Today it serves as the residence of the President of Latvia and remains one of Old Riga’s oldest fortifications.

Interesting
The White Tower, visible here, is among the castle’s best-known features. It has been damaged by fires and wars but preserved its historic outline.

Author’s Note
I chose this angle to emphasize the play of shadow and light — the white castle wall glows like a symbol against the darkened sky.
