Tartu Town Hall is a striking baroque building completed in 1789, featuring a tall, slender tower that has become the city's emblem. Located on Raekoja plats, it houses the city government but is also a beloved landmark. Visitors can admire its elegant facade, climb the tower for panoramic views of Tartu, and explore the surrounding square. The building's pale yellow walls and green roof make it a photogenic centerpiece, especially when lit up at night.
