House of the Black Heads 🗺️

#myhiddengems During my summer vacation, I visited the House of the Black Heads in Riga, Latvia, and it was a fantastic experience. This stunning building, located in the heart of Old Riga, is renowned for its striking architecture and rich history. The entrance fee was around 10 EUR, which I felt was reasonable for the impressive interiors and historical exhibits. The House of the Black Heads, originally built in the 14th century, features intricate façade decorations and beautifully restored rooms that offer a glimpse into the grandeur of the past. The highlight for me was the Great Hall, with its ornate decorations and historical artifacts. The museum guides were knowledgeable and added great context to the exhibits. Nearby, you can explore the charming Old Town with its cobblestone streets and colorful buildings. Don’t miss a visit to the Riga Cathedral and the Freedom Monument, both of which are within walking distance. The area is also dotted with quaint cafés and shops perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Overall, the House of the Black Heads is a must-see for anyone visiting Riga, combining historical significance with architectural beauty. #trip #houseoftheblackheads #rigahistory #latvianheritage #oldtowncharm #architecturalgem
