Tallinn Gate, City gate in Pärnu, Estonia

The Tallinn Gate stands as part of the former fortification system of Pärnu, featuring thick stone walls and traditional military construction elements.

Erik Dahlbergh designed this gate during Swedish rule, and its name changed from Charles Gustav's Gate following Estonia's surrender to Russian forces in 1710.

The gate represents the last remaining example of 17th-century Baltic defensive architecture, reflecting the military engineering practices of northern European fortifications.

Located at coordinates 58.383599, 24.494825, this monument remains accessible to visitors throughout the year as a central point in Pärnu's historical district.

After the demolition of Pärnu's fortifications in the 19th century, this gate emerged as the only preserved city gate structure from its period.
