A walk around the Old Town
All the photos open in a new window, the size of the large photos does not exceed 100 KbThere are as many gates and arcs, diciding the Old Town into many mini-towns and yards inside inside it as well.
The entrance from the side of the boulevards and the Opera Theatre is being "guarded" by an original house with a globe at the top.
Trokshniu Street (its extension on the previous pisture) - the street of noise alond the town's walls. A lot of noise was made here when an enemy approached the town.
There are lots of medieval storehouses in Old Riga, the biggest ones are turned into élite houses, as for this one - it must have been too small, on the other hand it managed to keep ist primordial looks.
Old Riga is not only a tourism centre but also the home of many famous people. R. Pauls lives here, for example and this is the house of V. Kargin, the president of Parex bank.
