The Temple Hill Park makes Alūksne the highest town in Latvia. In ancient times it was a Latgalian castle mound but nowadays the top pf the hill is decorated with the Temple of Fame - the granite rotunda built in 1807 on the order of Baron von Vietinghoff. Nearby there is a pedestrian bridge called the Sun Bridge.
