Kuldīga Old Town in the Primeval Valley of the River Venta, Medieval historic center in Kuldīga Municipality, Latvia

The central zone of Kuldīga retains numerous wooden structures from the 18th and 19th centuries along narrow cobblestone streets near the River Venta.

During the 13th century, Kuldīga developed as a significant administrative center for the Duchy of Courland and Semigallia, controlling regional trade routes.

The town maintains regular craft markets where local artisans demonstrate traditional Latvian wood carving, textile making, and metalworking techniques.

Visitors can explore the historic district through guided walking tours that start at the tourist information center located at the main town square.

The old town sits adjacent to Europe's widest waterfall, the Ventas Rumba, which stretches 249 meters across the River Venta.
