Rainis memorial, Monument in Esplanāde, Latvia.
The granite monument features a seated figure of Rainis, designed by architect Dzintars Driba with sculptures by Laimonis Blumbergs and Aivars Gulbis.
The memorial was unveiled on September 11, 1965, during a period when Latvia emphasized the recognition of national literary figures through public monuments.
The memorial stands as a testament to Rainis' influence on Latvian literature and his role in developing the national identity through poetry and plays.
Located in central Riga's Esplanāde park, the monument offers wheelchair accessibility and connects to several public transportation routes in the area.
The monument incorporates specific design elements that reference Rainis' literary works, including symbolic representations of his most notable poetry collections.
