Daily life of Old Riga...
Ok, it's a joke :) but here, at the entrance of the medieval restaurant Rozengrals, sometimes you can meet History in person. The man with the sword - Konstantin - is a famous Latvian reconstructor, researcher of the past, organiser of medieval tournaments, producer of authentic arms and clothes...

Originated from a small fishermen village, for centuries Riga has been an important part of the trade chain between Russia and Western Europe. A lively crossroad of cultures and backgrounds for over 800 years, the historical centre of Riga has accumulated an impressive cultural baggage and today is justly included in the UNESCO’s World Heritage list.
