"st mary's cathedral and square" Museum of the Occupation of Latvia Tip by cbeaujean

  cathedral square and the dom
by cbeaujean
 
 

all streets lead to this square as a focal point.
in fact,created in 1936 when they demolished many buildings to give the oportunity to prime minister to speak to the people from a balcony....
st mary,the dom,with a nice red brick structure and a gable like a hanseatic merchant's home and a bulbous dome...
inside,a very interesting 6768 (!) pipes organ...

Review Helpfulness: 3.5 out of 5 stars
