Latvian TV building versus Academy of Science. What do you think, who is higher? An Answer: no one. That defect of model or it is inaccurate. TV Building has height about 10cm (in model) and AoS has it too. :ohno:

Latvian TV Tower. Height more than 360m. One of the highest free standing structures in Europe

THE END

pretty neat.

It is on Meža street

Cool, only Z-towers looks little bit weird.

Wait a bit until the 3D electronic model of Riga City will be ready - now that would be cool!!!

They should ad it to google earth :)

1. The "interesting building in Teika" is Vidzemes Priekšpilsētas izpilddirekcija (don't know how to translate it in english)

2. The church from the last picture:
It's Svētās Trijādības church on Meža street, here is a small visual help:

3. I found some small details that are wrong here. It's in the old Railway car factory (now owned by Elkor). It's near Elkor Plaza on Brīvības and Vairoga street corner. I just know this place so good cuz I work there for a year.

A. Wrong place for the chimney, and a water tower on the other side of the next bulding (a bit more to the upper side if pic) is missing
B and C. Demolished buildings for more then 2 years.
D. There are no trees there ... the buildings are connected.
And where's Hanner????

I LOVE the model! Which all cities had 'em. Only seen the Stockholm and Riga ones so far, but next time I'm in NYC... /the model is out in Queens and covers ALL of NYC.

Latvian TV Tower. Height more than 360m. One of the highest free standing structures in Europe


THE END

Actually it's highest freestanding building in EU and third highest in all Europe.

Really like scale models of cities and this one was really nice!

A bit odd though, I must say, that the entire city looked like it had been flooded ;)

Can't help it but that was a bit fun! :)

great!!!!!!!!

Martins, thank you, very interesting!!!
Marupes streets not???
