This gateway is the only remaining gate of the Riga city wall. Walking down this street you will also see the only remaining section of the city wall. The buildings, opposite this section of the wall, were originally housing for the city garrison. By the 1850s, the city wall was militarily outdated and the decision to take down changed the city. The little river running around the oldtown is where the original city mote was located. Also you will find that the oldtown is more-or-less surrounded by a park, where the city wall once stood. The bricks and debris of the old city wall were pilled in one place creating the "Bastejkalns" hill in the park.
