Powder Tower
History and Facts
The Powder Tower, part of the old city wall, dates back to the 14th century. Once used to store gunpowder, it now houses part of the Latvian War Museum.

Interesting Fact
During battles, cannonballs embedded in its walls were intentionally left as historical marks — some remain visible today.

Author’s Note
Captured through the tangle of city lights and flags, the tower becomes a reminder of Riga’s layered past and endurance.
