Riga St Jacob`s Cathedral , baznīcas

Riga St Jacob`s Cathedral is the smallest one among the four Old Town churches; however, its belfry has best maintained the features characteristic to Medieval Riga churches. From the very beginning up to the Reformation period, the building belonged to the Roman Catholic Church and was the centre of Latvian spiritual life. Later (1523–1582), it became the first church in Riga to house Latvian Lutheran congregation.
