Pikk jalg gate tower, Medieval gate tower in Old Town, Estonia.
The Pikk jalg gate tower stands as a limestone structure within the defensive walls of Tallinn, featuring architectural elements from the 14th century.
The tower underwent reconstruction around 1380, replacing wooden gates with stone fortifications during a period of extensive military improvements across Tallinn.
The gate tower represents Estonian defensive architecture and serves as a testament to medieval engineering methods used in Baltic fortress construction.
Visitors access the tower through the Old Town district of Tallinn, where information panels detail the structure's military and architectural significance.
The name Pikk jalg translates to Long Leg in Estonian, marking this entrance as a primary access point through the medieval city fortifications.
