Vabaduse Väljak (Freedom Square) is one of the main squares in Tallinn. It was completely reconstructed in 2009, including moving the parking space underground, making the square into a large open space for pedestrians.
The Freedom monument, which you can see in the foreground of the photo above was erected simultaneously with the renovations of Vabadus Väljak in 2009. The monument is shaped in the form of the Cross of Liberty that was bestowed upon heroes of the Estonian War of Independence (1918-1920). However the appearance of the monument is not to everyones liking.
