  3. Toompea Castle

    Toompea Castle is Estonia's traditional seat of power. The parliament (riigikogu) meets in the pink, baroque-style building out front, an 18th-century addition. The state flag flies from the Pikk Herman bastion. A path leads down from Lossi plats through an opening in the wall to the Danish King's Courtyard where, in summer, artists set up their easels.
