Towers Square

Towers Square is a public park in Tallinn's old town bordered by Suurtüki Street, Rannamäe Road, Nunne Street, and Suur-Kloostri Street along the medieval city wall. The space features green areas, a children's play area, and walking paths that connect through the northern part of the historic district.

This location once held herb gardens, vegetable patches, and grazing land belonging to the Michael Monastery during the Middle Ages. The place served these agricultural purposes for centuries before becoming a public green space.

The square takes its name from the medieval towers of the nearby city wall that visitors can see while walking. The place is now used by residents who come here to spend time outdoors and enjoy the historic surroundings.

The park is easy to reach on foot with multiple entry points from the surrounding streets. Visitors should be aware that some paths have stairs and uneven surfaces, particularly near the city wall.

A community garden started in 2022 here grows plants selected from a medieval herbal reference work. The chosen species follow the historical knowledge of Saint Hildegard and show how people once used healing plants.
