    Huge, massive defensive walls with turrets. Behind them a beautiful view of the old town and the panorama on the other side.

    Old defense tower on the city wall, historically well preserved with access to the city wall.

    The Plate Tower was built in 1401–1410 between two older and more venerable towers – Ropehill and Epping Towers, and named after the tower chief Herbord Plate.
    It is disputed whether the tower has a horseshoe-shaped cross-section, typical of Tallinn's towers, or whether it can be described as almost circular.
    For a long time the tower was in the hands of the military and stood empty, waiting for tenants. Sometimes, especially in summer, exhibitions are held on its first floor.
