Turkish Bath, a picturesque pavilion situated on a small peninsula in the Great Pond in Catherine Park. Commissioned by Emperor Nicholas I, this was the last structure built in the imperial park, completed between 1850 and 1852. It was designed by Ippolito Monighetti, who used the appearance of a Turkish mosque as his inspiration. The building features a central gilded dome, a tall minaret crowned with a crescent, and intricate relief ornaments on the white facade. The pavilion serves as a victory monument to the Russo-Turkish War of 1828-1829. Pushkin (former Tsarskoe Selo) near Saint Petersburg, Russia, October 10, 2025
Example of Art Nouveau architecture in Tallinn, located at Pikk 18. It was designed by the renowned Baltic German architect Jacques Rosenbaum and completed in 1910. The design is celebrated for its flamboyant and fantastical style, which stands in stark contrast to the surrounding medieval architecture. The building is often referred to as the Draakoni Gallery (Dragon Gallery) because of the two large, sculpted dragons flanking the main ground-floor window. These sculptures were created by the famous Riga sculptor August Volz. The fac,ade is uniquely decorated with Egyptian-inspired themes, including reliefs of sphinxes and pharaonic figures at the top of the pilasters, adding to its exotic and eclectic appearance. The building features a distinctive curved corner tower with a slender spire, oval windows, and intricate floral ornaments typical of the late Art Nouveau period. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025
Fac,ade of Pikk 18, arguably the most famous Art Nouveau building in Tallinn, known as the Dragon Gallery (Draakoni Galerii). Designed by the renowned Baltic German architect Jacques Rosenbaum and completed in 1910, this building is a prime example of late Art Nouveau (Jugendstil) architecture. The two massive, sculpted dragons flanking the ground-floor window are the building s namesake and most iconic feature. They were created by the sculptor August Volz. Above the dragons, the fac,ade features two stern female figures with Egyptian headdresses projecting from the pilasters. These, along with sphinxes and other exotic ornaments on the upper levels, reflect the eclectic and fantastical influences typical of Rosenbaum s style. The large, horseshoe-shaped window on the ground floor and the undulating gable at the top create a sense of movement and fluidity that contrasts sharply with the rigid lines of the adjacent classical and medieval buildings. Originally built as an apartment house for the merchant Reinhold Reichmann, the ground floor has housed the Draakoni Gallery since 1983, an exhibition space managed by the Estonian Artists Association. The green light visible in the window belongs to a fashion boutique or exhibition currently occupying the space. Tallinn, Estonia, October 16, 2025

A closer view of the houses on Raekoja plats shows three contrasting roof forms: a broad tiled roof with a shuttered dormer on the left, a low parapet above the central yellow fac,ade, and a steep, scroll-edged gable on the right. The yellow building has four regularly spaced window bays, moulded window surrounds, and projecting cornices supported by small decorative brackets. A three-lion shield framed by ornamental scrollwork crowns its fac,ade, while a green metal canopy with patterned iron supports shelters the entrance. The neighbouring red house retains a narrower frontage and a small arched opening high in its gable. Tallinn, Estonia, August 26, 2026
The ornate corner house at Pikk 23/25, at the junction with Hobusepea Street, was completed in 1908 for merchant Reinhold Reichmann to a design by Jacques Rosenbaum. It combines Art Nouveau with German Renaissance Revival and Mannerist ornament, illustrating the early twentieth-century rebuilding of parts of Tallinn[CloseCurlyQuote]s medieval centre. The sculptural decoration was executed by the Riga-based sculptor August Volz. A rounded corner bay rises into a small turret beside a curved, elaborately decorated gable. Pale-green window surrounds, relief panels with scrolls and masks, and reddish wooden window frames contrast with the grey, rusticated ground floor. The lettering [OpenCurlyDoubleQuote]Apotheka[CloseCurlyDoubleQuote] above the corner entrance records its pharmacy use; the broad arched opening below follows the curve of the projecting bay. Tallinn, Estonia, August 26, 2026
At Vana Turg, the elaborate corner building marked [OpenCurlyDoubleQuote]Demini[CloseCurlyDoubleQuote] contrasts with the medieval merchant house occupied by Peppersack on the right. The Demin house at Viru 1 belonged to a wealthy fish merchant; its pink-and-white fac,ade has rusticated corners, pilasters, ornamental window surrounds, and a curved parapet framing an oval window above the corner bay. Peppersack[CloseCurlyQuote]s whitewashed gable presents a more utilitarian arrangement: a pointed stone entrance portal below vertically aligned storage openings, with a shuttered loading door and hoisting beam near the roof. Between the two buildings, Viru Street descends from the old market area, showing how later, richly decorated fac,ades stand alongside the surviving forms of Tallinn[CloseCurlyQuote]s warehouse architecture. Tallinn, Estonia, August 26, 2026
So~prus Cinema, whose name means [OpenCurlyDoubleQuote]Friendship,[CloseCurlyDoubleQuote] opened in 1955 and was designed by Peeter Tarvas and August Volberg, with interiors by Maia Laul. Its monumental Stalinist-classical architecture differs from the medieval merchant houses and later townhouses surrounding it in the Old Town. Six tall, faceted columns follow the curved entrance fac,ade, supporting a broad entablature decorated with geometric panels and dentil moulding. Carved capitals and ornamental bands contrast with the plain column shafts; behind them, salmon-pink walls frame three wooden entrance doors beneath decorative pediments. The flags of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania hang between the columns alongside a poster advertising Baltic Film Days. Tallinn, Estonia, August 26, 2026
Another fac,ade of So~prus Cinema displays seven tall, faceted pilasters with carved capitals and ornamental bands, framing six recessed bays above a broad flight of steps. Between the capitals, shield-like reliefs combine musical instruments, a theatrical mask, a painter[CloseCurlyQuote]s palette, and other cultural motifs with wreaths and curling borders. These are decorative emblems of the arts rather than state coats of arms. Completed in 1955, the cinema exemplifies Stalin-era classicism: monumental proportions and a strict architectural rhythm are combined with elaborate sculptural ornament. Here, the patterned cornice and ceremonial treatment of an otherwise largely blank wall give a public entertainment building the appearance of a cultural palace. Tallinn, Estonia, August 26, 2026
The stone-faced building at Harju 9 combines rough limestone masonry with finely carved architectural ornament. A high, stepped gable edged with scrolls rises above grouped attic windows, while smooth stone surrounds and shallow relieving arches distinguish the larger windows below. The contrast between rugged wall surfaces and elaborate detailing gives the fac,ade its character. The round-arched entrance is framed by fluted pilasters with Ionic-style capitals and carved heads around the arch. Floral relief panels decorate the spaces beneath the windows, and a small stone balcony projects from the left-hand side on sculpted brackets. These Renaissance-inspired details distinguish the building from the simpler plastered fac,ades adjoining it. Tallinn, Estonia, August 26, 2026
