Designed by the famous
Latvian architect Kārlis Zāle and
constructed in 1935. The bronze
casting of a woman (fondly nicknamed
‘Milda’ by the Latvian folk)
holds up three golden stars in her
hands, which symbolise three Latvian
regions: Latgale, Kurzeme
and Vidzeme. The guard of honour
stands sentinel at the monument
from 09.00 until 20.00.
