Also known as "Stalin's Birthday Cake", Old Town Riga's only skyscraper, the Latvian Academy of Sciences, is a bizarre place offering excellent views of the city. On your walk up to the top, notice the dusty old Soviet newsletters and posters on the walls. From the top, enjoy the city views and really appreciate the amazing architecture of the central markets! #architecture #history #views #city #history #culture #soviet #riga #latvia
