Riga Forest Cemetery

The largest & oldest (still open for burial) cemetery in town. More like a park. You do need a guide in order to visit the most interesting places.

(Translated by Google) The forest cemetery is a huge space located in the north-western part of Riga and near the Meza Parks district. In the cemetery there are various sculptural monuments and tombstones. A peculiarity that struck me is that each tomb has its own bench to pray and talk to the deceased. Many Latvian personalities are buried and the impressive monument dedicated to Janis Cakstle, lawyer, politician and first Latvian president (1922-1927) is worth a visit

Il cimitero della foresta è un'inmenso spazio situato nella parte nord occidentale di Riga e vicino al quartiere di Meza Parks. Nel cimitero sono posti svariati monumenti scultorei e lapidi. Una particolarità che mi ha colpito è che ogni tomba ha la sua panchina per pregare e colloquiare con il proprio defunto. Sono sepolti molti personaggi lettoni e merita la visita all' imponente monumento dedicato a Janis Cakstle avvocato, politico e primo presidente lettone (1922-1927)
