Jurmala is a famous Latvian resort on the shores of the Gulf of Riga with long sandy beaches, pine forest and sophisticated atmosphere of the resort city. The history of the modern city begins in the XIX century, when the residents of Riga and the Russian nobility began to come here for rest and treatment; over time Jurmala turned into a center of music, festivals and summer holidays. Here, modernity is intertwined with wooden architecture, a lively promenade and a leisurely walking life.
The man-made sights of Jurmala reflect the resort and religious history: the central street of Jomas with cozy cafes and wooden houses, the monument to the Alley of Love near the Dobelsky highway, several historical churches - the Baptist Church, the Orthodox Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin and the Lutheran temples of St. Anna and St. John, as well as the Mezotne Palace and architectural ensembles of the Dubulta district.
