Riga Circus is one the oldest circuses in Europe being built in 1888 and the building is a cultural monument of State significance. It was founded by Albert Salamonsky – a brilliant German circus artist, horse trainer, equestrian and a director, who also was in charge of design and construction of the current “Nikulin Circus on Tsvetnoy Boulevard” in Moscow.
The building was erected from the unique design blueprints of a Latvian architect Janis Fridrihs Baumanis, and used such modern architecture elements as rail road rails as the basis for the building and dome structure which was an absolute novelty at that time.
Despite the age, Riga Circus, continues to bring joy for kids and adults with bring and spectacular shows all year around, performed by world-class acrobats, equilibrists, air gymnasts, magicians, jugglers, clowns and of course circus animals. Source: www.cirks.lv, www.circopedia.org
