Walking through the streets of Daugavpils, Rēzekne or any town in Latgale, or walking the roads of the rural areas of eastern Latvia, is undoubtedly an experience that allows you to notice great differences with the rest of the country.

It is that in Latgale history has had other influences and a different evolution.
Although since the independence of Latvia the Latgalians decided to be part of this country, until then their path and ethnic composition were not entirely assimilated to that of other Baltic peoples.
Their mostly Catholic religious faith, product of the Polish Lithuanian influence and the Russian imperial rule closer than in the coastal towns, added to the majority presence of people of Slavic origin, make Latgale today a town with its own identity.
The close presence of the Russian and Belarusian borders, as well as the remoteness from the capital, Riga, also give Latgale a special character.
