Liberty Monument

The Liberty Monument stands in Rīga's Freedom Square and was built in 1935 to honor the soldiers who gave their lives for Latvia's freedom during the Latvian War of Independence (1918-1920). It is 26m tall and contains sculptures of soldiers at its base, a black granite obelisk topped with a three-headed eagle, and a flagpole on the top. The monument is a symbol of Latvia's independence and national pride. It is a popular destination for locals and tourists alike, and stands as a reminder of Latvia's history and struggles. The best time to visit this historic site is in the late afternoon, when its shadows create a dramatic and romantic scene.
