Rīgas Doms Riga Dome Cathedral<br />

Rīgas Doma pamatakmens likts 1211. gadā, un šī ir lielākā viduslaiku baznīca<br />

Baltijā. Gadu gaitā baznīca piedzīvojusi daudzas pārbūves. No 1959. gada<br />

līdz 1962. gadam Doma katedrāle tika pārbūvēta un pielāgota koncertiem,<br />

kļūstot par vienu no galvenajām mūzikas pasākumu un koncertu vietām Rīgā<br />

un Latvijā. Mūsdienās Rīgas un Latvijas arhibīskapa katedrāles apmeklētāji<br />

baznīcā var klausīties dažādu gadsimtu mūziku gan dievkalpojumu laikā, gan<br />

neskaitāmos koncertos, kas kļūst par patiesi unikāliem un neaizmirstamiem<br />

piedzīvojumiem ikvienam Rīgas apmeklētajam.<br />

The Riga Dome Cathedral, which was built near the river Daugava in 1211, is<br />

considered the largest medieval church in the Baltic States. It has undergone<br />

many modifications in the course of its history and from 1959 to 1962 the Dome<br />

Cathedral was adapted and turned into a concert hall and has become one<br />

of the major venues for music events and concerts in Riga and Latvia. Today<br />

you can listen to music of different ages and epochs performed at Riga Dome<br />

Cathedral during the worship services and innumerable concerts. A concert at<br />

Riga Dome Cathedral will become a truly unique musical experience for every<br />

visitor.<br />

Rīgas Kongresu nams Rīga Congress Centre<br />

Rīgas Kongresu nams atrodas pilsētas centrā. Vēsturiski ēka tika būvēta kā<br />

komunistiskās partijas kongresu un konferenču norises vieta. Sākotnēji tās<br />

nosaukums bija Politiskās izglītības nams; tā telpas un bibliotēka tika izmantota<br />

vienīgi komunistiskās partijas ideoloģiskajos pasākumos.<br />

Nams ir projektēts un uzcelts 1982. gadā (strūklaka rekonstruēta 2000. gadā),<br />

un ar tā 1200 vietām paredzēto konferenču zāli un ērto atrašanās vietu centrā<br />

Rīgas Kongresu nams ir svarīga sabiedriskā celtne, kur regulāri tiek rīkoti<br />

koncerti, deju un teātru uzvedumi, kā arī citas kultūras programmas un pasākumi.<br />

The Rīga Congress Centre is located in the city centre. Historically, this building<br />

was built as a congress and conference centre for the needs of the Communist<br />

party. Originally called the House of Political Education, its rooms and library<br />

were used solely for Communist Party ideological events.<br />

Constructed and opened in 1982 (the fountain was reconstructed in 2000),<br />

its 1,200 seat conference hall and convenient city-centre location make the<br />

Rīga Congress Centre a key public building. These days, the Congress Centre<br />

regularly hosts concerts by visiting and local artists, dance and theatre performances,<br />

and many other types of cultural programs and events.<br />
