Kuldjala Tower, located at Gümnaasiumi Street 1a in Tallinn's Old Town, is a historic defense tower built between 1311 and 1320. This well-preserved structure, standing at 22.5 meters tall, served as a corner tower of the city wall and features a horseshoe-shaped floor plan. Significant renovations occurred in the 14th and 17th centuries, and it now houses exhibitions and event spaces, managed by the youth organization Kodulinn. The tower is a cultural icon, hosting concerts and activities related to the Kuldjala Choir. Visitors can explore the historical significance of the tower and enjoy panoramic views of the Old Town. Accessibility is available, but it's recommended to check specific visiting hours and any admission fees before planning your visit.
