Gate sights in Rīga

    Swedish Gate

    Towards the centre of Old Town, look for Trokšnu iela, Old Rīga's narrowest street. It leads to the Swedish Gate, which was built into the city walls in 1698 to celebrate Swedish occupation. East of that is the round 14th-century Powder Tower, the only survivor of the 18 towers in the old city wall and home to the War Museum.
