Low angle view of spire of St John's Church, 13th century, Riga, Latvia. St. John's Church was first recorded in 1297 as the chapel of a Dominican abbey. Legend tells of two Medieval monks who chose to live bricked up in the southern wall of the church, fed trough a hole in the wall. Riga, capital city of Latvia, founded in 1201 at the mouth of the Dauvaga River, is an important trading centre, having been a member of the Hanseatic League, and is also well known for its 19th century wooden buildings and Art Nouveau architecture. As Latvia is former Soviet state it has a mixed Russian and Latvian population. The historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage site..
