Connecting Barcelona and Riga – Part 1 of 2

Two main ports, two capitals, two cradles of powerful modern art, two centers of official languages, two European cultural references, two amazing cities. It’s very interesting to consider what two cities like Barcelona and Riga share. On one hand, we have the Catalan capital, which has forged a unique identity with its form of modernisme. On the other hand, we have the Latvian capital, which has managed to position itself as “the city of the 1000 faces,” with the world’s largest Art Noveau architectural collection, making its city center a UNESCO world heritage site.
