Riga is once again the most dynamic city in this region - a cultural and financial centre worthy of Mayor Armitstead's legacy.

And also it will reveal many facts information about the city of Riga and its development in the time between 1901 and 1912. Unfortunately many of his works were damaged or disregarded because of the World War I. …
