Līvu Square , kultūras objekti, laukumi, tūristu nozīmes ielas, tūristu tirdziņi

It may be hard to believe, but the Square once was the site of the Riga River, which was a shipping route for transporting Latvian grain up to the 16th century. Later it was called the Rīdzene River and even Rīdziņa as it gradually became narrower. Today, along the old route of the river, pavement wears away the shoes of countless Rigans and visitors to the city, and beautiful flower-beds remind one of the past times.
