THE SOUL OF RIGA
Castle and Spires — Riga Panorama
History & Facts
Riga Castle, first built in 1330, has been reconstructed many times and now serves as the residence of the President of Latvia. Behind it rise the spires of Old Riga’s churches, forming one of the city’s most iconic skylines.

Interesting
The White Tower of Riga Castle has been rebuilt several times but retains its historic outline. The church spires long served as navigational landmarks for ships on the Daugava.

Author’s Note
This view is like Riga’s face — the castle as a symbol of power and the church spires as symbols of spirit. In infrared, the scene feels calm and timeless.
