The monument in the centre of Riga stands for Latvia's national sovereignty.
The sculpture is almost 43 metres high and on the top of the obelisk is a representation of the allegory of freedom – the stars it holds represent the historical regions of Latvia. At the foot of the monument are numerous figures depicting scenes from Latvian mythology, culture and history.
