Riga Town Hall, Town hall in Riga, Latvia

The town hall building stands on the northwest side of Ratslaukums Square, featuring a mansard roof and a bell tower at coordinates 56.947855, 24.106291.

The first town hall structure appeared in the early 14th century, with subsequent reconstructions in 1750 and a final restoration completed in 2003 after World War II damage.

The ground floor of the historical building contained a municipal bank and guardianship office, while the upper level housed the Riga City Library with 120,000 volumes.

The current building serves as both an administrative center and a tourist destination, with a modern shopping passage integrated into its rear section.

The exterior area once displayed cannons captured during the Northern War, connected by chains to form a decorative fence around the building.
