Riga TV Tower
Riga TV Tower is the tallest freestanding structure in the European Union. It is 386.5 meters tall and was built in 1987 (completely finished only in 1989). Today it is used for transmitting TV and radio channels as well as providing telecommunication services for various organisations and state institutions.
The tower reminds us a little bit of Eiffel Tower in Paris. It is located just outside the city center on the Zaķusala island in the river Daugava. The tower invites everyone to visit their observation deck which is located at the height of 97m, it is the highest publicly accessible observation point in Riga. In the good weather Riga Gulf, Riga Hydroelectric Power Plant and even Sigulda can be seen.

Hello! Latvia is a gorgeous country.
I live in California and have seen much beauty, but Latvia, during my visit 11 to 13 September 2009, really shone as a very lovely country with nice people!
I found your site whilst looking for images of the fascinating “Riga TV Tower.” I am a radio broadcaster here in Calif., and HOPE to return… Steve McGreevy
