Hanseatic Riga, 1400

Riga in 1400 stands as a bustling Hanseatic entrepôt where brick cathedrals, timber houses and stout walls meet the Daugava's busy quays. The walk follows the river approach, the Livonian Order's castle, guild squares and the market streets where cogs load flax, hemp and wax for the Baltic trade.

36 scenes — 21 streets, squares and views, 15 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Riga as it stood in 1400 (“History of Riga”).
