You cannot miss it when you are visiting Riga\u2019s Old Town \u2013 Stalin\u2019s Birthday Cake. This is what locals call the Latvian Academy of Science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
There is a very distinct looking high riser on the edge of the suburbs of Riga. This building in the Social Classicist style was created in 1958 and stands 108 meters tall. Social Classicism is a style that was most commonly used for representative buildings in the Soviet Union during Stalin\u2019s times (1979 \u2013 1953). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
