Kitseküla, Residential subdistrict in Kesklinn district, Estonia.
Kitseküla is a residential subdistrict in Tallinn that spreads between multiple railway lines, combining apartment buildings, shops, and the national football stadium of Estonia. The neighborhood's character is shaped by its position between the tracks and its role as a key living area for city residents.
The area transformed from farmland into an urban neighborhood during the late 1800s, marking Tallinn's expansion period. This shift shaped how the city grew and developed new residential spaces.
The name means 'Goat Village' in Estonian, a reminder of the farming past before this area became part of the city. This historical name remains part of how locals think about the neighborhood today.
The neighborhood is bordered by three train stations with regular Elron connections to central Tallinn and other parts of the country. The position on the railway network makes it easy to reach different parts of the city and beyond.
The Lilleküla Stadium sits between diverging railway tracks and hosts Estonia's national football team. This unusual position between the rails makes it a striking landmark within the neighborhood.
