Freedom Square was built to commemorate the soldiers who were killed during the Estonian War of Independence. This war was part of the Russian Civil War that occurred between WWI and WWII. The war actually took place from November 1918 through February of 1920. During the struggle, 4,000 people were killed and another 14,000 were wounded.

The actual idea for a tribute started in 1939, but Estonia was swept into WWII shortly after the independence was declared. They were again occupied and it wasn’t until 1991 that the country was again independent. During the Russian occupation, this plaza was called Victory Square. This beautiful area has been redesigned to reflect the freedom of the Estonian people and to pay tribute to its fallen citizens.

On the west side of the square is the Victory Column. It was completed and opened in June 2009. The column is surrounded by 143 plates of glass and is topped by the Cross of Liberty. This represents Estonia’s distinguished award during the War of Independence. On the east side of the square is the lovely St. John’s church. It is located in the Old Town portion of Tallinn and really deserves a visit while in Estonia.

The memorial is situated inside the Estonia Theatre and Concert Hall. The Memorial at the National Theatre is a statue that depicts a Bronze Boy, and is dedicated to all the boys who fought for Estonian Independence after the First World War.

Tammsaare Park is near the Viru Gate, and offers several of Tallinn’s landmarks, including the Statue of Anton H. Tammsaare and Kissing Sculpture. The Statue of Anton H. Tammsaare is dedicated to the well-known Estonian writer, while Kissing Sculpture is a tribute to love.

Town Hall Square served for many years as a marketplace, as well as a location for celebrations and executions. During the summer time, Town Hall Square hosts various open-air cafés, numerous outdoor concerts, unique craft fairs, and medieval markets. In the winter, the square is home to an annual Christmas Market and fabulous Christmas tree.
