Main building of the University of Tartu
There is no question that the main building of the University of Tartu is one of the gems of the city. It was built between 1804 and 1809 according to the design by the architect Johann Wilhelm Krause. The opening ceremony of the building was held on 3 July 1809. All important events in the life of the university have been celebrated in its main hall since then. The good acoustics of the hall have made it a popular venue for concerts and conferences. You can visit the main hall and the former lock-up room on the attic floor of the building, both of which are considered pearls of classicistic architecture in Estonia, through the History Museum of the University of Tartu.

Nice buildings
The Tartu University is very old formed by Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus. Situated very close to the city there are some lovely old buildings with lots of parkland.

Surprisingly interesting visit!
This was even nicer than the museum. Excellent guide as well. Take your time to watch and listen and inhale the atmosphere from the past.

A beautiful building in a picturesque city.
One can easily see why this early 19th Century building is known as the symbol of Tartu with its 6 Toscana pillars and triangular portico and is typical of much of the architecture not only in Tartu...
