Ventspils observation tower

Apžvalgos vieta, Kurzeme

This observation tower stands on Ventspils' South Mole at the mouth of the Venta River and was built on the foundation of a former Soviet army radar tower, later converted for public viewing. It rises about 18-19 meters above a roughly 7-meter cliff base, and its platform is equipped with a telescope for visitors, with a rest area and benches at the base. From the top there are views over the port, the sea gates, and the city beach.
