Pikk St. (Pikk tänav) in Tallinn's Old Town, specifically showing the facades of two notable Art Nouveau buildings at numbers 18 and 16. The building on the right with the dramatic facade featuring dragon sculptures is the famous "Dragon Gallery" (Draakoni galerii). Designed by architect Jacques Rosenbaum and completed in 1910, it is a masterpiece of Art Nouveau architecture. The facade is adorned with fantastical elements, including two large dragons flanking the ground-floor window, Egyptian women, and sphinxes. It currently houses an art gallery managed by the Estonian Artists' Association. The building directly next to it on the left (the narrower one with large windows) is Pikk 16. It currently houses the BonVerre shop, visible through the ground-floor window, which specializes in beverages and gourmet products. Further down the street on the left (the grey building with the green flag) is the Kanuti Gildi Saal (St. Canute's Guild Hall), a historic building that now serves as a contemporary performing arts center.
