Riga: Architectural Guide
Riga is a city where centuries of European history remain unusually visible in its architecture. Medieval streets, elaborate Art Nouveau façades and Soviet modernism sit within a city repeatedly reshaped by changing borders, political systems and cultural influences.
This extensive architectural guide explores nearly 800 buildings and places across Riga and its surroundings, moving from historic monuments to contemporary additions to the city. Particular attention is given to Riga’s remarkable Art Nouveau heritage, while the wider selection reveals a much more varied architectural landscape.
Written by architect and scholar Jānis Krastiņš, the guide offers an expansive portrait of the Latvian capital through the buildings that have defined, survived and transformed it.
