Jānis Čakste Square
Jāņa Čakstes laukums, Liepāja, 3401
A place where respect for history meets dynamic, modern city life! Jānis Čakste Square is dedicated to the first President of the Republic of Latvia, Jānis Čakste. The square holds deeply symbolic significance in the story of the Latvian state – it was here, in 1925, that Jānis Čakste addressed townspeople and guests while unveiling the monument to the defenders of Liepāja. Following an extensive reconstruction, the square has been transformed into one of the most modern and beautiful public spaces in the city.
The square's design is thoughtful and understated, highlighting the ideas of freedom, courage and statehood. It has become a favourite spot both for solemn national holiday events and for everyday strolls, children's play and open-air cultural events.
The square offers an aesthetic setting and interactive elements for visitors of all generations.
