The Pika jala väravatorn, or Long Leg Gate Tower, is a fascinating piece of Tallinn’s medieval history and a hidden gem for those exploring the Old Town. This towering gate, built in the 14th century, was one of two main gateways connecting the lower town with the upper town on Toompea Hill. Its unique name, “Long Leg,” reflects the steep incline leading up through the gate—a route historically used by nobility and officials. As you pass through the gate, you can’t help but feel a connection to the past. The stone walls and arched entrance give a sense of Tallinn’s old-world charm, and the view looking back over the lower town is enchanting. It’s a perfect photo spot for capturing Tallinn’s medieval atmosphere and makes for a great start or end point when exploring the upper town.
