You're standing at St. Peter's Church, in the heart of Riga's old town. Look up at that slender spire with the rooster on top. For centuries, a tower on this spot has shaped the city's skyline. But this isn't the first one. There have been plenty of towers here before, and almost all of them came to a bad end.
