Daugavgrīva lighthouse, Maritime navigation tower at the mouth of Daugava River, Latvia
The white cylindrical tower with black horizontal bands rises 35 meters high and features a red lantern roof at its summit.
The first lighthouse on this location dates back to 1536, with the current concrete structure completed in 1957 after previous versions were destroyed in wars.
The lighthouse represents Latvia's maritime heritage and functions as a symbol of Riga's connection to international maritime trade through centuries.
Visitors can climb 150 spiral steps to reach the observation platform, which provides views of the Daugava River and the Port of Riga.
The lighthouse emits a distinctive light pattern every 2.5 seconds, guiding ships for 18 nautical miles across the Gulf of Riga.
