This is our VERY symbolic and beloved "Freedom Monument". It sits in the center of a plaza on Freedom Blvd. in the middle of the city.
The maiden on top is holding 3 golden stars. They stand for: To Latvia...........To my Fatherland...........and To Freedom.
Even throughout all 50 years of Soviet occupation, no one dared to touch or harm this Monument.

On our Independence day (Nov. 18) and on all kinds of commemorative Holidays, the base around this Monument is covered in flowers!
