RĪGA, Latvia. Rātslaukums, monument to Roland


RĪGA, Latvia
Rātslaukums

Monument to Roland (Frankish military leader under Charlemagne, died in 778), Riga’s patron, in front of the Brotherhood of Blackheads (Melngalvju brālības). The sculpture was made by Edvins Krumiņš (Ugale, 1959) to replace the one of 1897 designed by Wilhelm Neumann and carved by August Volz, which was pulled down by the Soviets in 1945. The new monument was unveiled in May 2000.
