Matīsa market was built in 1902 and is compact enough to be easily explored. The market is popular among intellectuals and people who live around. In market you can get everything starting with nylon socks till handmade cheese.

Rolands started to work here on 1992. At that time as a butcher he could earn in one day the same amount of money as he earned in a month as a carpenter. Not only that – butchers were supplied with working closes, equipment and lunch-vouchers. Now all it changed for gainful employment.
