Monument to the Liberation of Livani
The monument is located at the intersection of Fabrikas and Stacijas streets, where it was opened on June 9, 1935 by General Rudolfs Bangerskis, honoring the memory of the soldiers who fell in the battles for the liberation of Livani in 1919. Its main element is a 15-ton, vertically placed cannon barrel. In 1958, the Soviet authority dismantled the symbol of the freedom of Livani, cutting the barrel of the cannon into scrap metal. Citizens of Livani preserved the cannon bals throughout the Soviet years, and they returned to their previous place after half a century. The idea about restoring the monument was alive in minds of people for all these years. The Livani District Council, together with the residents, was actively involved in the restoration of the monument. Public donations were collected, and on October 3, 2004 the restored Livani Liberation Monument was unveiled in the city park, in its historic location .
