About this cemetery

The Riga Brothers' Cemetery (Rīgas Brāļu kapi) is a memorial ensemble in north-eastern Riga covering about nine hectares, dedicated to those who fell in the First World War and the Latvian struggles for freedom. In 1914 Riga Cathedral and St Peter's church set aside land for 146 burials of soldiers who belonged to no Riga congregation. The monumental sculpture is the work of K. Zāle.
