A bold tribute to the Art Nouveau Capital of the Baltic and Hanseatic Pearl on the Daugava where Riga, the capital of Latvia and the largest city in the Baltic states, possesses one of the finest collections of Art Nouveau architecture in the world, with over 800 Art Nouveau buildings representing nearly one third of the city's total building stock, concentrated above all on the Alberta iela and Elizabetes iela streets where the fantastical facades of ornately decorated apartment buildings designed around the turn of the 20th century display an extraordinary range of Art Nouveau forms from the Jugendstil rationalism of Mikhail Eisenstein, father of the film director Sergei Eisenstein, to the more restrained National Romanticism of Latvian architects blending Nordic and folk motifs, where Riga's UNESCO World Heritage historic centre encompassing the medieval Vecrīga with its Dom Cathedral, the 13th-century Gothic Church of St Peter, and the Three Brothers, the oldest dwelling houses in the Baltic states, tells the story of a Hanseatic trading city of exceptional wealth and ambition, and where Riga's extraordinary Central Market housed in five repurposed German Zeppelin hangars from World War I, the largest market in Europe by trading volume, reflects the city's continuing role as the commercial heart of the Baltic region.
