Cobblestone streets
Author: Anothertravelguide.com0 COMMENTS
Cobblestones have covered Riga's streets for more than five centuries. They are simultaneously loved (real Rigans sometimes call themselves cobblestone kids) and lamented - like when the heel of a woman's shoe catches in a narrow gap between the stones.
At one time, nearly all of the streets in the centre of Riga were paved with cobblestones - including those made of fieldstones brought to Riga by the serf labour of farmers, as well as those chiselled from granite purchased in Sweden.
