THE SOUL OF RIGA
Dome Clock
History and Facts
The Riga Dome Cathedral, dating back to 1211, features one of the city’s oldest tower clocks. Its golden Roman numerals and ornate hands have been restored multiple times, preserving the historical face of Riga’s skyline.

Interesting Fact
The clock mechanism once required manual winding — a task performed by cathedral caretakers until the 1970s.

Author’s Note
I focused on the clock’s gilded details against the slate dome — a quiet mark of time’s passing and Riga’s lasting rhythm.
