I was lucky in Soviet times to visit this "heart of the old city of Riga" - oh, what a Romano-Gothic cathedral ["The stained glass windows on the north side depict important events in the history of the Dome Cathedral and the city of Riga - the laying of the first stone of the cathedral, the proclamation of freedom of religion in 1525"] ... Freedom already in 1525... Soon 500 years old! "... the dome of the cathedral ["The famous organ of the Dome Cathedral. It was created by the firm "E. F. Walcker & Co" in 1883-1884 and replaced the previous instrument, which had been working since the end of the XVI century (about 280 years)"] can be seen from almost anywhere in the city" (Arisha S. City Expert level 11). I will not write anything for the spire, but I will give the Russians a "tattoo": "From the cathedral you can go to the courtyard and walk along the Cross Gallery, where the exhibits of the exhibition about the history of Riga and the Dome Cathedral are now located."..
