This guide book is a must-have for all those who are interested in European architecture and its rich history of diverse cultures. Riga is famous for its unique mixture of styles and traces of war and political change: German origins, Art Nouveau at its highest level and Soviet Modernism. Latvia is a young European nation on its way to architectural prominence. In 1997, the central part of Riga was included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Daugava embankment and numerous streets dating back to medieval times encircle this unique area. The author's selection provides descriptions of nearly 800 buildings and various places of interest in Riga and its vicinity. Buildings from every historic period and architectural style are described, ranging from centuries' old monuments to buildings currently still under construction.

Riga is famous for its world heritage-listed old town (Vecriga) and city center (Centrs), in which over 800 buildings -- a third of all buildings -- are of the Art Nouveau (aka Jugendstil) style of architecture and thus Riga is one of the best destinations to see this architectural style.

Das bauliche Bild der lettischen Hauptstadt Riga ist bestimmt von einer Fülle an unterschiedlichsten Architekturstilen. 1201 von einem Bremer Bischof gegründet, haben wechselnde Fremdherrschaften die Stadt über Jahrhunderte geprägt. Aus dem Zusammenfließen vieler Kulturen auf engem Raum ist so eine vielschichtige, einzigartige städtische Struktur entstanden: Neben der von der Hansezeit geprägten Altstadt, die seit 1997 zum UNESCO-Weltkulturerbe gehört, finden sich hier die weltweit größte Ansammlung an Jugendstilgebäuden, traditionell geprägte Holzarchitektur, majestätische Bauten des Funktionalismus und die Sowjetmoderne in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft. Seit Erlangung der Unabhängigkeit Lettlands im Jahr 1991 knüpft die Stadt wieder an ihre reiche Architekturtradition an. Jānis Krastiņš, ausgewiesener Experte für die Architektur seiner Heimatstadt, stellt rund 800 Bauten aus allen Epochen der Rigaer Baugeschichte vor. Damit bietet der Architekturführer Riga eine profunde Übersicht über die Architektur und die städtebauliche Entwicklung der lettischen Hauptstadt - ein Must-have für alle diejenigen, die sich für die vielfältige Baukunst und Kulturgeschichte Europas interessieren.
