Palace of Justice, Riga, Neoclassical courthouse in Freedom Boulevard, Riga, Latvia.

The Palace of Justice features symmetrical architecture with decorative elements, grand columns, and triangular intersections at Elizabetes and Terbatas streets.

Construction of the Palace of Justice began in December 1936 and concluded in 1938, originally designed to house the Senate of Latvia and Ministry of Justice.

The building represents Latvia's legal system development, serving as the Supreme Court location and regular meeting place for the national Cabinet since 1990.

The Palace of Justice functions as an administrative center containing multiple courtrooms, the Ministry of Justice headquarters, and government offices.

During the Stalinist period, additional construction expanded the building with a new wing that currently accommodates the Supreme Court chambers.
