Freedom Square, Central square in Old Town, Tallinn, Estonia
Freedom Square is a pedestrian-friendly public space covering approximately 8,100 square feet (7,752 square meters) in central Tallinn, serving as the city's primary gathering place for official events and social activities.
The square was first officially named Freedom Square in 1939, and during Soviet occupation it was renamed Victory Square before reverting to its original name in 1989 when Estonia regained independence.
Freedom Square hosts Estonia's Independence Day celebrations, concerts, and national commemorations, and it features the Victory Column monument dedicated to the Estonian War of Independence fought between 1918 and 1920.
The square is located just outside the southern boundary of the medieval Old Town and is easily accessible on foot or by public transportation through Tallinn's extensive transit network.
Archaeological excavations have revealed ancient defense structures and bastion walls beneath the square, with remnants visible through a glass screen at the end of Harju Street and in the underground parking area.
