Riga, the capital of Latvia http://www.riga.lv was officially founded in 1201.
Riga, Latvia is a city that was founded in 1201. Presently it has a population of around 815,000
people and within the city limits its area is around 307 square kilometers (1/3 of population).
Riga is the capital of the Republic of Latvia as well as the geographical center of the Baltic
States which also include Lithuania and Estonia.
Riga has always been a city at the cross roads of the large markets of Western Europe and the
East. For this reason Riga is still attractive for businesses across the region because of its
central location for both of these markets. Riga is also a very important point for transporting
goods. The harbor in Riga, Riga's international airport, developed railroad system, and good
road infrastructure are the main aspects of the transportation element which is important to the
city. Considering that the infrastructure is highly developed it has transformed the city of Riga
into a main industrial and business epicenter in the Baltic region.
In the architecture of the historic center of Riga examples of all architectural styles characteristic
for the Northern Europe, from Gothic to Modernism, are found.
Riga has unique ensemble of Art Nouveau buildings as well in some districts of Riga, for various
reasons, complex wooden constructions of that time have still been preserved, and that is an
amazing phenomenon in the 21st century. In 1997 the historic center of Riga due to this valued
architecture was inscribed into the UNESCO World Heritage List.
