Kuldiga is called the "Venice of the Nordic Countries" and not for nothing, because it is included in the UNESCO national list because of its flowing waters and its abundance of historical architecture.

Part of the Liepaja fortress. The fortress was built in the late 19th and early 20th century to protect the Liepaja naval base in the event of a possible enemy attack. The fortification system covered the whole city.
Nice place for photos

From its very beginning, this place has been a grim place designed to break people’s lives and suppress free spirit. Various inexplicable phenomena have been observed in the prison: loud steps, electric bulbs unscrewing themselves, locked cells opening, apparitions showing up in the corridors.

The ‘Ghost Hunters International’ team of professionals with the most up-to-date equipment has tried to find ghosts at the Karosta Prison, concluding that it is one of the most ghost-infested locations in the world.
