The Riga Lighthouse is located on the coast of the Gulf of Riga in Latvia. It was first built in 1862 and stands at a height of 62 meters, making it one of the tallest lighthouses in the Baltic region. The lighthouse helps guide ships safely into the Port of Riga, which is an important hub for maritime trade. The structure is painted white with a red top, making it easily visible against the backdrop of the sea and sky. The Riga Lighthouse has undergone several renovations over the years to maintain its functionality and preserve its historical significance. It remains a popular landmark for both locals and tourists.
