Detail InformationEdit

Daugavpils is the pearl and the most remarkable cultural and historical monument of the second largest city of Latvia. It is the only early 19th century military fortification of its kind in the Baltic Countries. Daugavpils has been preserved without significant alterations and serves as a bright evidence of the military history of Tsars’ Russia.
Gradually, Daugavpils fortress rises from the ashes, but not for military purposes anymore. Mark Rothko’ Centre containing the originals of his works and displaying the artist’s residence will be established in the Arsenal building.
Today, restoration takes place in the fortress. The name of the Daugavpils is associated not only with gloomy events of wartime, but also with World-famous artist impressionist Mark Rothko (1903-1970) who was born here. In the “Sotheby’s” auction in New York in 2007, his painting “White Center: Yellow, Pink, Lavender on Rose” was sold for 72.8 million dollars. This is a record for Latvian-origin artists and it is the 24th most expensive artwork sold in the world.
