==Architecture== [[File:Good Stay Eiropa Hotel at night.jpg|thumb|right|Jūrmala is famous for its wooden houses.]] The most distinguishing architectural feature in Jūrmala is the prevalence of wooden houses dating from the 19th and first half of the 20th century. Most of the buildings were built by [[Baltic German]] and Latvian architects, but there are also works of Russian, Finnish and other architects. Jūrmala's architecture typically falls into classicism, national romanticism, and modern styles. The town has an official list of 414 historical buildings under protection, as well as over 4,000 wooden structures.{{citation needed|date=March 2008}}. [[Dubulti Station]] is an example of sculptural [[concrete shell]] [[Modernist architecture]].
