The spinning globe was created in the early 1970s. It is made of steel and copper elements and is the largest globe in Latvia with a diameter of 2 meters.

The globe is spanned by the repeated name Jūrmala in several spellings: Jūrmala - Юрмала - Jurmala.

The globe shows the twin towns of Jūrmala. The object from the 1970s was restored in 2003. Another restoration was required in 2015. The globe was dismantled in May 2015 and rebuilt on July 23, 2016 after restoration.

The Jūrmala Globe, a well-known landmark on the corner of Turaidas iela and Jomas iela, has an interesting history. Originally installed in the early 1970s near the Dzintari Concert Hall, it symbolizes Jūrmala's twin towns, which are highlighted on the map with glowing circles. The globe had been badly damaged by weather over the years and underwent extensive restoration in 2016. It was given a new supporting structure and the rotation and lighting mechanisms were renewed so that it can once again rotate on its axis and illuminate the twin towns.

The globe not only shows the world map, but also has the name "Jūrmala" in various languages around the sculpture's equator. This detail is a tribute to the city's international appeal and a reminder that visitors from all over the world value Jūrmala as a holiday destination.

The sculpture's setting, nestled in green parks and close to the sandy beach, reinforces the feeling of relaxation and space. The globe is a popular photo spot, especially on sunny days, and invites you to become aware of how many people are connected through the place. Jūrmala, traditionally known for its wellness and recreation culture, uses the globe to reflect its openness and connection to the wider world - fitting for a city that attracts visitors from near and far.
