"Symbol of Independence"
A gleaming beacon of Latvian independence, the iconic Freedom Monument was designed by the acclaimed Lithuanian-born architect Kārlis Zāle and constructed between 1931 and 1935. The monument is essentially a 42 meters (138 feet) obelisk clad in copper and granite, that commemorates Latvia's freedom struggle and disseminates a message of unity. The base of the monument is adorned with bas-reliefs and sculptures that delineate accounts of Latvian independence. A sculpture of a celestial-looking woman is seen holding three gilded stars in her outstretched hands, she overlooks the city from the monument's pinnacle. The stars in her hands symbolize the historical districts of the country and thus complete the imposing monument.
