A book of reasonable thickness, beautiful photos about Art Nouveau and its history in the buildings of the Riga centre.
"Alongside Brussels, Barcelona and a few other European cities, Riga is one of the most outstanding pearls of Art Nouveau. In 1997 it was included in the list of the UNESCO's World Cultural Heritage, recognizing that it has the finest concentration of Art Nouveau buildings in Europe. Riga's Art Nouveau exhibits both the national characteristics and characteristics of the Art Nouveau of Europe.
Riga is like an open-air museum of Art Nouveau. One can find buildings with decorations inspired by folk art and national romanticism as well as buildings with a vertical façade composition and rich ornamentation.
Riga is always young and beautiful; it is inviting, alluring and unforgettable."
