Riga Congress Hall

The Congress Hall features a 14-meter-high central lobby connecting three floors with marble, granite, and oak interior decorations throughout the structure.

Built in 1982 as the House of Political Education, this building later became a crucial gathering place for Latvia's independence movement against Soviet rule.

The foreign language library within the Congress Hall contains over 60,000 publications in 53 languages, including rare encyclopedias and dictionaries.

The facility includes three halls, ten auditoriums, a lobby, and a cafeteria, with a total capacity to accommodate 5,000 people for various events.

The building's lobby extends toward a park through extensive glass windows, creating a substantial recreational space within the structure.
