Low angle view of the spire of St Peter's Church, 13th-20th centuries, Riga, Latvia. St Peter's Lutheran Church was founded in 1209 and continually altered over the centuries. The spire was originally built in the 17th century, burned down in 1941, and rebuilt in the 1970s. Previously wooden, the tower, once the tallest in Europe, is now constructed of metal. 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..
