Powder Tower

After the church tower and a break it was a blitz (perhaps not the best word) of all the key sights of the old town. Yesterday when we arrived in the rain it was all so difficult to make out but today the weather held out between rain and showers. The rains were brief but gave respite from the sun. This was one of our first stops, a medieval tower, that was later used to store gun powder. We could still see canon balls wedged into the brickwork from previous battles. Riga has so few medieval features left but this was the best.
