Discover the main venue for the Latvian Presidency of the Council of the EU in Riga: new National Library of Latvia, known also as the Castle of Light. Legend has it that the Castle of Light sank when the people were oppressed, but then rose up from the depths of darkness to free the Latvian nation. This is symbolic of the wisdom that was lost in the darkness of war and invasion, but then regained by the Latvian people. The library is one of the most significant 21st-century projects to be undertaken in Latvia and a fine symbol of what Latvian hearts and minds have been contributing to European culture for many centuries. https://youtube/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=2TTE4q2t5Ls
