Daugavpils is an important cultural centre in eastern Latvia. There are 22 primary and secondary
schools, four vocational schools, and the Saules College of Art. The city theatre was restored a couple of years ago. The city exhibition centre offers many cultural activities. There are also several architectural, historical, and cultural monuments in Daugavpils. The most prominent is the Daugavpils fortress of the late 18th– 19th centuries.
The historical centre of Daugavpils city is an architectural heritage of national importance (the
construction work was carried out in the 19th century according to the project endorsed in St Petersburg in 1826). The historical centre is the greatest attraction of the city and one of the most successful examples of balancing the aspects of ancient and modern times. Daugavpils is one of the few cities in Latvia which can pride itself on a unified ensemble of both classic and eclectic styles. The cultural heritage of architectural, artistic, industrial and historical monuments combined with the picturesque surroundings creates the essence of Daugavpils’ image and endow it with a special charm.
