THE SOUL OF RIGA
St Peter’s Church Tower
History and Facts (ENG)
St. Peter’s Church is among Riga’s oldest landmarks, with origins in the early 13th century. The tower has been rebuilt multiple times after fires and wars and today offers a panoramic viewing platform above the historic centre.

Interesting Fact (ENG)
From the platform you can see the red roofs of Old Riga, the Daugava River and the modern skyline — one viewpoint connecting medieval and contemporary Riga.

Author’s Note (ENG)
Framed by narrow streets, the spire’s vertical line felt like an aspiration beyond the city’s limits. The light carved long shadows, revealing time-worn textures.
