As you walk through the Agenskalns district you can't help but notice that there are hand carvings everywhere - on the front doors of houses, on porch roofs, gates and balconies.

There are especially many to be found in one place in the Martin's Church Cemetery.

Let's try to identify as many different styles as we can see, directly in the metal forgings.

In a little aside from our excursion, I will try to describe the popular architectural styles which you can see in the history of Pārdaugava.
