Review & FAQ:

Cinevilla is an outdoor backlot that was converted to use in the feature film, Defenders of Riga. After the film wrapped, the large-scale open-air cinema was opened to the public and soon became a major tourist attraction. Visitors can see replicas of many of Latvia’s historical buildings and sites such as the Stone Bridge or the Pontoon bridges – there’s even a canal that resembles the Daugava river quays. There’s a special effects show that visitors can watch to learn about the many aspects of filming a movie as well as a Film Oscar Cinevilla for visitors to watch movies that have been filmed there.
