Name.
Probably founded in the 12th century, Riga developed into a
commercial and craft centre.
Riga passed to Poland in 1581 and was taken by Sweden 40 years later.
In 1721 it was ceded to Russia after Sweden was defeated in the Great
Northern War, and it was briefly occupied by the Germans in World War I.
Picturesque Riga is the most cosmopolitan of the Baltic capitals, a
pleasure to visit with its art nouveau buildings, historic churches and museums, while
further afield medieval castles, long sandy beaches and unspoiled countryside await
exploration.
A moat surrounds the old part of Riga, with its several medieval
buildings, including a 13th-century cathedral and guild halls from the 14th century.
