Vecrīga (Old Town)
The Old City is famous for its narrow cobbled streets and alleys and historical houses many of which have maintained their looks up to the present day. Old Riga is not tall, there are three or four story houses among which the steeples and peaks of beautiful medieval churches can be seen. Pulvertornis (Powder Tower) is a 1330 tower and was part of the Riga fortification wall, now it houses the Kara muzejs (Museum of War). The 1330 Rīgas Pils (Riga Castle) now houses the President of Latvia. Old Town also has some of the oldest churches, such as Jēkaba katedrāle (St James' Cathedral), Svētā Pētera Evaņģēliski luteriskā baznīca (St. Peter's Church) and Svētā Jāņa Evaņģēliski luteriskā baznīca (St John's Church). Visitors shouldn't miss Melngalvju nams (House of Blackheads) or Lielā Ģilde (The Great Guild).Nightlife
