Latvia
Latvia accepted the UNESCO World Heritage Convention on 10 January 1995, and all its inscribed sites are recognized as cultural properties. Common themes include historic urban landscapes—exemplified by the medieval and Art Nouveau layers of Riga’s Old Town—archaeological and scientific heritage represented by the Struve Geodetic Arc, and well‑preserved traditional settlements like Kuldīga, showcasing Baltic vernacular architecture and urban planning from duchy eras.
