House of the Black HeadsDDJDQThe Blackheads' House in Riga is a very beautiful building. Unfortunately, it was bombed by the German army during World War II. The current architectural theme was restored in the 1990s. It is very beautiful when night falls, but because of the high latitude, it gets dark very late in summer. If you want to see the Blackheads' House at night in June and July, you have to wait until about 11 o'clock in the evening. This exquisite Gothic building combines the appearance of the Dutch Renaissance with bright colors and exquisite decorations. The Municipal Square in front of the Blackheads' House was built at the same time as the Blackheads' House.
Latvian War Museum关关裕年guanyunianWhenever I see the lively and vivid "Latvian national costume puppets" purchased in Latvia in the gift display cabinet, I can't help but think of the primeval forests and bonfire parties in Latvia.
This "irrelevant" memory is not easy to understand for some travellers, but after living in Latvia for a few days, you will know that everything in this country is closely related to the primeval forests.
Cat HouseZzlj8811Levi Square is located in the old city of Riga. It is surrounded by magnificent buildings from the 18th century, most of which are now restaurants and beer houses. The Cat House is named after the black cat squatting on the roof. You have to stand in Levi Square and look up to find the black cat with its back bent and its tail raised. It is said that the owner of the Cat House is a wealthy German businessman who was refused to join the German Chamber of Commerce. In order to retaliate against the German Chamber of Commerce located opposite the Cat House, he installed a black cat statue on his roof, with the black cat's butt facing the German Chamber of Commerce building. The two sides had a lawsuit, and in the end the owner of the Cat House turned the black cat around, and it became what we see today...

The wide and narrow spiral staircases were the only way to reach the top of St. Peter's Basilica. The interior of the church was breathtakingly magnificent and the marble sculptures were extremely detailed.
