Kadriorg Palace and ParkThe beautiful pink baroque Kadriorg Palace was the summer
residence of Russian Tsar, Peter 1, and today stands proudly in the
centre of its namesake seaside resort suburb of Tallinn, where the
streets are lined with noble villas and summer estates. The Palace
today houses the Estonian Art Museum's foreign collection,
featuring thousands of western European and Russian works from the
16th to 20th centuries, ranging from prints and paintings to
sculpture and furniture. The palace is also the venue for concerts
and theatrical performances, lectures and receptions. The park
surrounding the palace is a popular recreational spot for visitors
and locals alike, consisting of formal gardens, the symmetrical
Swan Lake, as well as meadows and forest groves traversed by
paths.
