Well if you count the roof it surely has five sides:) I guess Latvians just call it this way, because it is bigger than most other government buildings. Latvians like comparisons: Sigulda which is 98 meters above sea level is called the Latvian Switzerland, Riga is little Paris and my bath tub I call Miami Beach.
Very fine photo. Why do they call it the "Pentagon" if it is not connected with the military?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's five-sided?
