THE SOUL OF RIGA
Towers in One Breath — Riga Mosaic
History & Facts
This image is an artistic collage that merges several of Riga’s iconic vertical landmarks — church spires, castle towers, and historic silhouettes. Together they form a symbolic portrait of the city, where medieval heritage and modern Riga meet in a single skyline.

Interesting Fact
For centuries, Old Riga’s profile has been defined by its spires. Beyond their spiritual role, these towers also served as navigational markers for travelers arriving along the Daugava, shaping the city’s distinctive silhouette.

Author’s Note
To me, this collage is Riga’s layered history compressed into one frame. The towers act like signposts, pulling the gaze upward and reminding us of the city’s long journey through time.
