Town Hall Square

Many important attractions are either based on the Raekoja Plats or close by. The square itself is presided over by the Town Hall (Raekoja), which is a magnificent landmark and was built in the 1780s. Featuring a tower topped by a weather vane, Tartu Town Hall also features a prominent statue of lovers (Suudlevad Tudengid), who are kissing beneath an umbrella fountain. Soon after its completion, a clock was added to ensure the punctuality of the local university students.
