The monument at the heart of the city and in every Latvian's heart. Good to note, that warriors are portrayed sad, peaceful and still (very good giveaway distinguishing Latvian monuments from aggressive posture of Soviet creations).

What a magnificent monument to freedom! The people are proud of their heritage and proud of their freedom. It's gratifying and humbling to see such a public declaration of their commitment to freedom. Well done, Latvia. (Also the flowers in the gardens nearby have a heavenly scent when in bloom . . .)

I like the Latvian and Baltic states sense of personal identity and proud that they are NATO allies. This monument reflects Latvian pride and I sense it is part of the beating heart of this proud nation.

The Freedom monument honoring soldiers killed during the Latvian War of Independence (1918–1920). It is considered an important symbol of the freedom, independence, and sovereignty of Latvia. Nice touristic site with the garden of latvia close by as well as old buildings from before the war. Two soldiers are always present at attention in front of the monument with a swap every 30 minutes depending on the weather, it is such a beautiful scenery to be at during change 😊

Just 1 min walk from the Riga Garden, this 42m high monument stands tall between Old and Central Riga in this vast square in the memory of all Latvians who lost their lives between 1918 to 1920. Wonderful Ambiance and historic feel when you are around this majestic Tower.

This is one of the most amazing places in the centre of Riga city surrounded by Riga main town, parks, railway station and bus station etc. On 19th Nov which is the independence day of Latvia all the gatherings and events are happening around this monument. You can visit this place and grab a nice lunch/dinner/snacks in old Town nearby and relax later in the parks all are around and at a walking distance. I'm sure you'll like this place and do visit 👌
