St. James's Cathedral, Riga

St. James's Cathedral is the Roman Catholic Cathedral of Riga in Latvia.

In the beginning of the 15th century the St. Cross Chapel was built at the south end of the early Gothic church and part of the church was transformed into a Basilica. In 1901 the oldest Baroque altar in Riga from 1680 was replaced by a new one.
