THE SOUL OF RIGA
Guardian of the Corner
History and Facts
One of Riga’s most powerful Art Nouveau faces, this monumental figure appears on the corner of an Eisenstein-designed building. It symbolizes vigilance and stability — timeless architectural virtues.

Interesting Fact
The structure’s curvature emphasizes the guardian’s gaze, following the viewer as they pass.

Author’s Note
Cracked yet calm, it feels alive — watching over the quiet rhythm of Alberta Street.
