Riga in Italian: History & Legends
Overview of the tour in Riga
During a walking tour of our old town, we learn a brief history of Riga and German, Polish, Swedish, Russian, Independent and Soviet times. The end of the tour will be the Freedom Monument.
The Cattedrale, the Church of San Pietro, the Powder Tower, fragments of the defense walls, the Three Brothers, the Stock Exchange, the Church of San Giacomo, and the Swedish Gate are all important points along the narrow streets and paved squares.
Legends will tell how Riga was founded, what ancient river Riga had, where there may be treasures of Templars, and who is forgiven by Riga ghost.
