Toompea is a historically significant hill in Tallinn, Estonia, that serves as a central landmark and a symbol of power. It is home to the Toompea Castle, which has been the seat of various rulers and is currently the location of the Estonian Parliament, known as the Riigikogu. The hill's rich history dates back to ancient times, with archaeological evidence suggesting it has been a fortified area for millennia. Toompea also features several important buildings, including the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, a stunning Russian Orthodox church, and the St. Mary's Cathedral, the oldest church in Estonia.
