Toompea, Limestone hill in Old Town, Tallinn, Estonia.
Located in northern Tallinn, the 45-meter-high Domberg features several governing buildings and religious structures connected by narrow cobblestone streets.
The Danish King Waldemar II commissioned a fortress on Domberg in 1219, replacing earlier wooden fortifications built by Estonians in the 10th century.
The Estonian Parliament holds sessions in the castle building, while Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and Tallinn Dome represent different religious traditions.
Visitors can reach the summit via three main routes: the Patkuli Steps, Long Domberg street, and Short Domberg street, all connecting to Lower Town.
The Stenbock House on Domberg serves as the Estonian Prime Minister's residence, while multiple foreign embassies maintain their offices on the hill.
