Orthodox Cathedral
No doubt that one of the most famous sights depicting Russian Empire Epoch in Riga is this Pareizticīgo Kristus dzimšanas Rīgas katedrāle (Orthodox Cathedral) built in 1884. Katedrale was closed down during Soviet Epoch (inside was opened observatory and cafe) and reopened again as church in 1992.
It's located in very center, next to Hotel Latvija.
See Orthodox Cathedral during the winter.
See Also Riga Cathedral.
