Freedom Square is Tallinn's main public square, a spacious gathering place that blends modern Estonia with its medieval past. At its heart stands the Victory Column, a glass monument commemorating the War of Independence. The square is flanked by the St. John's Church and the Tallinn City Theatre, while the old town walls rise in the background. Visitors can sit on the steps of the column, watch locals pass by, or admire the contrast between contemporary architecture and ancient fortifications. It's a starting point for exploring the old town and a hub for national celebrations.
