THE SOUL OF RIGA
Freedom Monument — Heart of Riga
History & Facts
The Freedom Monument, inaugurated in 1935 and funded by public donations, stands 42 m tall. It has become Latvia’s foremost symbol of independence and a central site of remembrance.

Interesting
The figure of Liberty holds three stars, representing Latvia’s historic regions. Today, the monument serves both as the stage for national ceremonies and a popular meeting point.

Author’s Note
I chose this view as it shows Riga’s axis — from boulevards to freedom. In infrared, the dramatic sky emphasizes the monument’s vertical presence.
