Southward from the center of the Old Town of Riga, along the right bank of the Daugava, is a quarter gilded with a historical aura – Spikeri Quarter and its adjacent promenade, which are part of the territory of UNESCO Cultural Heritage – the historical center of the city of Riga. Since the 14th century, this area had a wharf for loading and unloading cargo ships. The location had several warehouses (Hanf – Ambaren or “hemp warehouse” in German). The warehouse quarter was created in the second half of the 19th century, when the territory was covered with uniform warehouses. Designed in the 19thcentury by the best architects of the Baltic States, the simple but striking red brick buildings there are 150 years old.

Located just behind the Central Market these beautiful brick buildings were originally erected in the second half of the 19th century as part of a concerted effort to keep warehouses out of the city centre. Some of the buildings were reconstructed, but many still retain their original functional brick architectural style.
