Monument "Koklētājs" (Fiddler) Memorial site

The monument "Koklētājs" in Talsi on Ķēniņkalns is dedicated to the memory of the Freedom Fighters (authors K. Zemdega, sculptor V. Titans).At the end of the 1930s the Talsi City Council commissioned sculptor K. Zemdega (1894-1963) to make the monument. In 1938, the sculptor made a plaster model of the sculpture and a capsule with a message for future generations about the history of the creation of the monument was buried in the Leči hill. The Second World War put an end to this idea, but the cast was hidden and preserved. With the restoration of independence, the idea of completing the monument was revived. V. Titans begins to carve the "Koklētājs" in stone at the Museum of Agricultural Technology "Kalēji". The monument was inaugurated on 16 November 1996, and the ceremony was also attended by the then President of Latvia, G. Ulmanis.
