Daugavpils is Latvia's second city, with a huge 19th-century fortress, churches of four faiths and the Mark Rothko Art Centre.
The Daugavpils Fortress, begun in 1810, is one of the last fortresses of its kind in Europe that survives almost whole. In its old arsenal, the Mark Rothko Art Centre shows original paintings by the artist born here. On Church Hill, Catholic, Lutheran, Orthodox and Old Believer churches stand side by side. The Daugavpils Regional and Art Museum is in an Art Nouveau house in the centre.
