Until the middle of the 20th century there were located harbour warehouses or so called „spīķeri”. There is established the Ostas Street promenade or Ventmala with several famous tourism objects – The Livonian Order Castle, excursion boat „Hercogs Jēkabs”, Kr.Valdemārs monument, figurative flower bed „Mārītes” (“Ladybirds”) etc. The renovated Promenade of Ostas Street is opened to visitors from April of 2020 with a wide view of the river Venta, the sea gate, the old workshops of the port, an impressive collection of buoys and the exhibited pilot ship "Rota". The new section of the promenade visually and contentfully enriches the features of Ventspils city. The newly opened section of Ostas Street leads from the “Winter Port” to the Captain's Office of Ventspils Port and winds along the historic port workshops, which for many years, due to the high fence and added buildings, obscured the view of the historic buildings.
