Discover Riga during its most rapid transformation. This historical photo album with augmented reality capabilities takes you to the period from 1900 to 1914, when the city grew and changed almost every day. 219 carefully selected and restored photographs reveal the rhythm of modernization — population growth, expansion of industry and the port, the triumphant march of tram traffic, the construction of new viaducts and the improvement of the city's infrastructure. The monumental boulevard ring, banks, schools, theatres and the most brilliant Art Nouveau buildings appear here as living testimonies to the era that put Riga on the map of European metropolises.

77 images are supplemented with interactive AR solutions: using the Old Riga app, you can compare historical views with the modern landscape right there on the street, while on the cover a special 3D retro tram symbolically sets the movement of the era in motion. The visual journey takes you through the center and boulevards, markets and Pārdaugava, industrial areas and quieter streets, allowing you to track the pace of change and see how the past merges with the present.

An ideal choice for Riga lovers, architecture and urban planning enthusiasts, history researchers and anyone who wants to feel the pulse of the city at a time when it became a dynamic, modern European city.
