Dome Cathedral

In the centre of Riga is the Dome Cathedral and square. Everything extends out from here almost in rings although if you thought there might be some logic to the streets you'd be sorely mistaken. Foot sore, as we discovered. In actual fact everything is quite close but turn a few degrees and suddenly the view and architecture has changed so much it's like you've entered a new city. Riga's old town is a museum of architecture and while the lot has been rebuilt after the war it's been done with great care and respect for the original. We must have crossed this square more than any other point but never once entered the cathedral.
