Tallinn Gate is the only remaining city gate of Pärnu's once-extensive fortifications. Built in the 17th century, this stone structure features a pointed arch and thick walls, reflecting the military architecture of the Swedish era. Visitors can walk through the gate and imagine the bustling traffic that once passed through. The gate now stands as a picturesque landmark at the edge of the old town, often photographed for its historical charm. It's a tangible link to Pärnu's medieval past.
