About Madona

Madona is home to 9,000 residents, and is a centre of culture, education, trade, sports, and medicine in theMadonas novadsregion. The name “Madona”, often confused with “Madonna”, comes possibly from lake Madona or the medieval German name for the palace of Birži - Madohn. Birži was the official name of the inhabited area before. The name of the town has absolutely nothing to do with the famous singer nor the Christian religious figure.
