EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the 14th century and immerse yourself in the rich history of Riga, Latvia with this stunning print of the House of the Brotherhood of the Blackheads. Dating back to 1334, this magnificent structure is a testament to the city's medieval heritage and its significance as a major trading hub during the Hanseatic League era.
As dusk falls over Old Riga, the golden light casts a warm glow on the intricate stone façade, bringing out every detail of its Gothic Revival architecture. The imposing building has been beautifully preserved and now serves as a museum, offering visitors a glimpse into the lives of its former inhabitants - members of the Brotherhood of Blackheads, an association founded by German merchants who settled in Riga during that period.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is not only an architectural marvel but also a symbol of cultural exchange and trade between Europe's Baltic states. As night begins to fall, take in every moment captured by photographer Mauricio Abreu's lens - from the ornate windows to the statues adorning its walls - and let yourself be transported to a world where tradition meets beauty.
