Market Pavilions
Riga Central Market is a very interesting and impressive place for foreigners, but not the safest one :)
It has 5 big Pavilions for fish, milk, grocery, meat and vegetables.
I am not sure, but a lot of people telling that century before those pavilions were used as garages for dirigibles.
Take a look at the post Typical Buyer as well :)

i love the building. before i read the text, i thought it's a train station :p
Yes, these buildings actually were constructed around the steel structures of German Zeppelin hangars recovered after WWI in Courland (Kurzeme - the West-most part of Latvia).
