Tourist attractions Turaida Castle

Located atop a hill in the picturesque Sigulda Valley of Latvia, Turaida Castle is one of the country’s most iconic medieval landmarks. Its impressive main tower provides sweeping views of the Gauja River and the surrounding dense forests. The complex features pathways, gardens, and restored buildings that immerse visitors in centuries of Baltic history and architecture.

A fascinating curiosity linked to the castle is the legend of the Rose of Turaida, a tale of love and sacrifice that has made the site a cultural symbol for Latvians. Near the castle lies the grave of Maija, the heroine of the legend, where many visitors leave flowers as a tribute.
