Riga Cathedral, Riga

12.00pm daily there is a 20 minute mini organ recital with a talented organist and her assistant. This organ is very beautiful to look at, let alone listening to it being played. It was fascinating to watch the stops being pulled out ahead of each piece to be played and the 4 tiered keyboard, let alone the leg work involved to play the bass notes. Really worth finding the time to walk around and then to chill and listen to a recital.

The cathedral is old and it looks old. It needs a lot of money to bring it back to full glory. You can fill spirit of past times especially in cloister. To me this church was completely different I have ever seen, probably because it is in state needing renovation. It is a shame that this beautiful building looks like it looks but hopefully in near future it will be possible to admire it in full beauty. Entrance fee is €5 worth or not but supporting the cathedral is really good idea. The cathedral is housing one of Riga symbols - The Rooster. In my view it is a must when you are visiting Riga. Next door there is a museum devoted to Riga history, worth visiting too.
