Look up to the top of Freedom Monument, a copper statue of Liberty, for the three stars held aloft on this high obelisk. The stars symbolize the three major regions of Latvia. Kārlis Zāle designed the 42 m (138 ft) high memorial as a tribute to soldiers killed during the Latvian War of Independence. The sculptures and the bas-reliefs at the foot of the obelisk represent heroes, heroines, and the common people. Notice an ancient warrior standing between two kneeling modern soldiers in the "guards of the fatherland." Catch the changing of the guard every hour. The monument makes a great benchmark for navigation in Riga.

Worth a visit if in Riga, interesting to see the guards on duty there too. We didn't see it, but i believe they have a change of guards every hour.

Make sure you visit this location at day and also at night. At night the monument has spotlights on it and the feel of the monument is different.

This is one of the most amazing places in the centre of Riga city surrounded by Riga main town, parks, railway station and bus station etc. On 19th Nov which is the independence day of Latvia all the gatherings and events are happening around this monument. You can visit this place and grab a nice lunch/dinner/snacks in old Town nearby and relax later in the parks all are around and at a walking distance. I'm sure you'll like this place and do visit 👌

The Freedom monument honoring soldiers killed during the Latvian War of Independence (1918–1920). It is considered an important symbol of the freedom, independence, and sovereignty of Latvia. Nice touristic site with the garden of latvia close by as well as old buildings from before the war. Two soldiers are always present at attention in front of the monument with a swap every 30 minutes depending on the weather, it is such a beautiful scenery to be at during change 😊
