Kuldjala Tower, Medieval fortified tower in Tallinn, Estonia
The Kuldjala Tower stands as part of a 2-kilometer stretch of defensive walls surrounding the Old Town district of Tallinn with 26 towers remaining.
Construction of the fortification system began in 1265 under Queen Margaret Sambiria, developing into one of Northern Europe's strongest defense networks over three centuries.
The tower forms an integral component of Tallinn's medieval heritage, reflecting the architectural innovations and military strategies of the Teutonic Order.
Visitors can purchase combination tickets for 4 euros to access the tower and adjacent wall sections, with free entry available for Tallinn Card holders.
The structure connects to neighboring Nunna and Sauna towers through walkable wall sections, enabling visitors to experience three different medieval defense points.
