THE SOUL OF RIGA
Bench in the Park – Conversations in Silence
History and Facts
Riga’s historic parks along the City Canal – Bastejkalns Park, Kronvalds Park, and Vērmanes Garden – were created in the 19th century after the city fortifications were demolished. They quickly became favorite spots for residents to relax and stroll.

Interesting Fact
The canal parks were designed in the style of landscape gardens, with winding paths, small bridges, sculptures, and benches – places still beloved for conversations and quiet reflection.

Author’s Note
I chose this scene because it shows Riga’s intimate side – not only its monuments but also everyday life. Two people sitting on a bench among fallen leaves symbolize, for me, the quiet heartbeat of the city.
