Am not sure that a rooster is a symbol of Riga, but a certain level of homage to him is shown in the town.
It also makes the symbol (coat of arms) of the smaller town Madona.
BTW: An example of informative advert - representing all Latvian towns.
According to the tradition that`s how any building may be protected.
Perhaps theoretically a rooster can behave as an alarm if something wrong`s happening.
So the roofs of all more or less important buildings are decorated with this special bird.
But sometimes - with another bird...
...or not even a bird...
...not at all...
...but still quite nice :)

Всех приветствую и временно возобновляю блог. Вышивать потихоньку вышиваю,
но зашла сюда сегодня совсем по другому поводу.
