THE SOUL OF RIGA
Tower of Light and Shadow — Riga Cathedral
History & Facts
Riga Cathedral, begun in 1211, is the largest medieval church in the Baltic States. Over the centuries the cathedral has been rebuilt many times, and its tower has been renewed in different eras, remaining one of Old Riga’s defining landmarks.

Interesting Fact
The cathedral’s pipe organ, which was the largest and most modern in the world at the end of the 19th century, still attracts music lovers and visitors from across the globe.

Author’s Note
The name comes from how the tower plays with light and shadow, creating a dramatic silhouette against the sky. Infrared tones enhance this effect.
