Riga In Your Pocket - Āgenskalns Market (Āgenskalna tirgus)

http://www.inyourpocket.com Riga In Your Pocket visits the Āgenskalns Market. Although construction of Riga's third largest market began in 1911, due to WWI it wasn't completed until 1923. Since then this red brick building has become the focal point of the local community. It's home to numerous stalls selling anything from pork and poultry to dairy products and fresh vegetables. Unfortunately, the years have not been kind to this historic landmark and a general feeling of depression seems to reside in its halls. Take the stairs to the second floor for great views of the bustle below and cheap food and drink at the café.
