Freedom Monument

The Freedom Monument, located in Riga, the capital of Latvia, stands as a memorial built in honor of soldiers who lost their lives during the Latvian War of Independence (1918-1920). A significant symbol of independence, freedom, and sovereignty for all Latvian people, this impressive 42-meter structure is crafted from granite, travertine, and copper. It features a platform adorned with characters of historical importance.  

Situated in the heart of Riga on Freedom Boulevard, near the Old Town, some liken it to the gates of the Old Town. The square around it has become a focal point for gatherings and official ceremonies. After three competitions, the design "Shine like a star" won, featuring a woman holding three golden stars. Uncover the meaning behind this design during your visit.  

Adjacent to the monument, in the park to the south, you'll find the National Opera House, surrounded by a flower garden and a fountain—a picturesque spot in Riga. Seize the opportunity and book a tour with us to explore Riga, and its impressive city center!
