Riga Map Art

Riga's medieval Old Town sits in a tight knot on the right bank of the Daugava River, its street grid a maze of narrow lanes radiating from the Dome Cathedral. The river bends sharply here, creating a natural boundary that the city has expanded across via three bridges, pushing a rigid grid of 19th-century boulevards and Art Nouveau blocks into the left bank. Canal Ring, the 19th-century fortification moat, curves around the Old Town's perimeter like a necklace, now a park that marks where medieval walls once stood.
