ADDCAR a C a r R e n t a l A g e n c y Let me share some impressive and beautiful MUST visit sites in Riga: There are two iconic buildings in Latvia that demand your visit: Three Brothers: These three buildings sit next to each other in the old town of Riga, and are considered to be the oldest medieval dwelling houses. The legends say that these three buildings were built by three men of the same family but at different-different times. Isn’t that marvelous! Riga, being a point of old stories, presents more of such places. House of Blackheads: Built back in 1334, these two buildings were constructed as a venue for meetings and banquets. During the second world war, these buildings were destroyed but then were restored in 1999 to its glory and now stand close to the river in a magnificent manner.
