Parks and Gardens of Pärnu

Pärnu’s urban landscape is defined by a green belt that evolved from the dismantling of 19th-century city fortifications and the development of its seaside resort. The collection includes Rannapark, established in 1882, and several memorial parks dedicated to influential Estonian figures such as Lydia Koidula and Carl Robert Jakobson. These spaces feature historic monuments, artificial terrain like the Munamäe hill, and dendrological variety, linking the medieval city core with the Baltic coastline.
