One of Latvian people cherished treasures. Built in 1935, the 42-metre (138ft). The statue was built by Latvian donations. The statue stands tall as the Latvia people and so does the brave soldiers guarding the Monument. You might even catch a time (1 hour is the time when they change. They also patrol 1. after 30min) but they don't guard the Monument in extreme conditions (under -10°C {14°F} and above 25°C {77°F}

The Freedom Monument is a memorial located in Riga, Latvia, honouring soldiers killed during the Latvian War of Independence (1918–1920). It is considered an important symbol of the freedom, independence, and sovereignty of Latvia. Unveiled in 1935, the 42-metre (138 ft) high monument of granite, travertine, and copper often serves as the focal point of public gatherings and official ceremonies in Riga.

Monument to those who fought against the forces of darkness in two wars. A magnificent symbol of Latvian willingness to fight for freedom and independence. Located in the city centre so there is no reason not to visit and pay respect to the brave warriors of the past

A monument built to honour the soldiers who perished during the Latvian war. There is a rotation of the guards at 1pm everyday and guards are posted at this point during daytime. Its at the heart of the city centre and is very difficult to miss.

Rigas liberty monument is definitely worth a visit. It gives a good impression on how Latvia has been occupied for many years. Interesting that the sculptures on the monument facing east are all in chains.

It's a free monument outside you can visit in Riga, it's just in front of Old Town Riga. It's an ideal place as meeting point. It's quite nice when it's dark outside.

Built in the mid 30s to honor the Latvian struggle for independence, the monument is beautiful and a focal point of the Latvian nation. It has served as a gathering point during national points of crisis and pride, and you will often see flowers laid at it's base. Historically it's more recent history is during the 1991 collapse of the soviet union served as one of the most prominent demonstration points

A monument with history. The sculptures around the base explain the story and I recommend that you go with a local guide to get the maximum background of the history of the place. It's a closed road so there is no vehicles, so easy to get around and take good photographs as you wish. If you are in riga it's hard to miss this.
