After the fall of the Soviet Union, “Riga”, the capital city of Latvia achieved significant economic development among post-Soviet state. The city has an old town area with its own special art nouveau architecture that is as beautiful as the type found in Tallinn city. Wherever I went, I would find many art nouveau
buildings, the largest number of buildings in this style in the European region. With its great historical value, Riga is also listed as a world heritage site.
