For some reason, there is not a word about the town hall itself in the reviews about the Town Hall Square. I will add some information. In the 14th century, Town Hall Square was the central place of Riga. All important events for the city were held here - from executions to holidays. And, as in any European city, a town hall was built here, in which the Riga City Council sat, and once a year, decrees and laws were read to the citizens from its balcony. At that time, however, the square was not the Town Hall, but simply a nameless commercial square.→
