The Faces of Riga Architecture

with 5 comments

As I walk the streets of Riga, I’m always fascinated gazing up into the watchful eyes of the stony faces peering down on me. Riga’s art nouveau architectures is among the finest in the world, and these faces are a hallmark of the style. On a recent summer evening, I took a short walk about town to photograph some of these faces (some of these are positioned at the tops of tall buildings, so some photos are a bit fuzzy in full size).

  1. Hey, this is a great website. I’ve notice that Riga International has a few openings next year. I’m an international teacher who might be in the market for a job next year. Would you recommend the school. Feedback on the school/housing/ Riga in general would be greatly appreciated.

    • Hey Mike, I don’t work at Riga International so can’t offer much help there. But overall, I really enjoy living here. Good luck with your search.

  2. Thanks! It looks like ISL will have a lot of high school posts for next year too. What’s up with that situation?
