Beautiful gardens on a hill. We walked down from Tour Magne so we could visit the Temple of Diana, which is in the lower section of the gardens.

Beautiful park. It's unique structures and water features capture interest if you're into photography. Teeming with nature with a calm and relaxed atmosphere.

Lovely gardens with A Roman era temple and water ways. The koi carp are infected with a nasty fungus which wasn't nice to see

House of Blackheads

House of the Blackheads (Melngalvju nams) is a building situated in the old town of Riga. The original building was erected during the first third of the 14th century for the Brotherhood of Blackheads, a guild for unmarried German merchants in Riga. Major works were done in the years 1580 and 1886, adding most of the ornaments.

The structure was bombed to a ruin by the Germans June 28, 1941 and the remains demolished by the Soviets in 1948. The current reconstruction was erected from 1995 to 1999. Today the House of Blackheads serves as a museum and sometimes concert hall.
