Historic Centre
The oldest building in the central square, dating from the early 15th century, is the misnamed (it's actually white) and originally bigger Red Tower, once the corner of the medieval town wall. Two blocks west is a fine pair of 17th-century conjoined houses. One block further is the former Town Hall, a classical yellow and white edifice originally built in 1797.

A
17th-century conjoined houses
On Pühavaimu tänav, is a pair of large 17th-century conjoined houses, a fascinating example of ambitious early home-renovation efforts. Originally separate residences belonging to a chemist and an eminent city councillor, the buildings received a neoclassicist face-lift in the 1840s before becoming a department store in 1877.
