Torņakalns
Torņakalns is a neighbourhood of Riga, Latvia. Located on the westbank of the Daugava River (neighborhoods along this shore are collectively known as Pārdaugava). The name Torņakalns (''eng.:Tower Hill'') derives from a fortified tower built in the Middle Ages close to the Daugava River to alarm the city of Riga in case of emergency and unwelcomed intruders about to cross the river.〔(Torņakalns page on citariga.lv ) (English version)〕 The tower does not stand nowadays. ==Overview== Torņakalns was an early suburb to Riga, consisting largely of gardens and mansions. In contrast to the Soviet-built Zolitūde and Ziepniekkalns suburbs, there are plenty of gardens, parks, and monuments. Mārupes parks (''eng.:Mary's Creek Park'') encircles the Māras diķis (''eng.:Mary's Pond''), which was once dammed by a mill. The Mārupe (''eng.:Mary's Creek'') then continues into Arkādijas parks (''eng.:Arcadian Park''), where early 20th century landscaping provides an oasis from the city.
