The Tallinn TV Tower is the tallest structure in Estonia at 314 metres, standing on the outskirts of the city in Pirita. Its observation deck at 170 metres offers spectacular panoramic views stretching to Finland on clear days, complemented by interactive exhibitions about Estonian innovation and history.
Built for the 1980 Moscow Summer Olympics (Tallinn hosted the sailing events), the tower was completed in 1980. During the 1991 August Coup, Estonian defenders barricaded the tower to prevent Soviet forces from cutting TV and radio transmissions during the independence declaration.
