EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time at Liepaja, Latvia's Peters Market (Petera Tirgus), a bustling open-air marketplace that has been the heart of this Baltic seaport town for over a century. Established in 1910, this vibrant marketplace has stood the test of time, serving as a hub for local trade and community gatherings. The print captures the market in its early days, with the market pavilion taking center stage. Surrounded by various buildings and structures, the pavilion's distinctive red-and-white striped roof stands out against the backdrop of St. Joseph's Cathedral. One of the many churches in Liepaja, St. Joseph's adds a sense of history and spirituality to the scene. People of all ages and backgrounds can be seen milling about, browsing the various stalls and tables laden with fresh produce, handmade crafts, and other goods. The marketplace comes alive with the sounds of haggling, laughter, and the clanging of scales. Despite the passage of time, Peters Market remains an integral part of Liepaja's cultural fabric. Its rich history and enduring charm continue to draw visitors from near and far, making it a must-visit destination for anyone exploring the Baltic region.
