Tartu Town Hall

Tartu Town Hall is a symbol of the historical heart of the city, located on Town Hall Square.

The building was completed in 1789, combining Baroque and Early Classicism elements. The Baroque bell tower was completed in 1784. Historically, the town hall has served several functions: a prison and a poorhouse (weighing house) were located here, and the council operated on the upper floors. Today, the town hall houses the Tartu city government, an information point, and a pharmacy, which has been located here for more than 100 years.

One of the special features of Tartu Town Hall is the carillon in the tower. There are 34 bells, and beautiful melodies sound daily at 9:00, 12:00, 15:00, 18:00, and 21:00.
