Why Tartu Town Hall Square matters
Tartu's main square is graceful and relaxed. A neoclassical town hall faces the square, and across from it stands a house that leans noticeably to one side. The fountain in the middle shows a pair of students kissing under an umbrella, a symbol of the city's student spirit. Cafés fill the surrounding streets.
Talking points
- The Kissing Students fountain is the symbol of Tartu.
- A house on the square leans noticeably to one side.
