The Freedom Monument , pieminekļi

The Freedom Monument was erected in 1935 based on a design created by the outstanding Latvian sculptor Kārlis Zāle. The Monument is dedicated to the 1918 Proclamation of Independent Latvia; it features four groups of symbolic figures - Work, Culture, Family and Defenders of the Homeland. The top of the marble obelisk is crowned by a woman hewed in copper. She is holding up three golden stars, which represent the unity of Latvia`s historic regions (Kurzeme, Vidzeme and Latgale).
