Kronvalds Park – Silence by the Canal
History and Facts
Kronvalds Park was established in the second half of the 19th century, following the demolition of Riga’s fortifications and the creation of the canal parks. It is named after the Latvian public figure Atis Kronvalds and covers about 11.9 hectares.

Interesting Fact
The park is home to one of Riga’s oldest linden alleys and a collection of rare tree species, making it a true botanical treasure in the heart of the city.

Author’s Note
I chose this place because it symbolizes the heart of Riga – a space where nature and architecture breathe together. Infrared photography adds a dreamlike stillness to the canal, as if time itself has paused.
