Admirables chats
Une jolie maison avec des chats au top du toit. La maison est située à côté de la place dans la vieille ville. Je n'ai pas visité la maison, juste admiré ses toits.

Le chat est le symbole de Riga. Bâtiment d'influence Art nouveau. La légende raconte que le propriétaire, après s'être vu refuser l'accès à la Grande Guilde, se vengea en plaçant au sommet de la tourelles des chats noirs, postérieurs tournés vers la prestigieuse guilde!
