A narrow stone staircase of 215 steps leads to the top of the tower where flies the national flag of Estonia. The blue, black, and white of the national flag were first seen here on 12 December 1918 and after years of Soviet occupation, again on 24 February 1989. The flag is raised at sunrise and lowered at sunset.
