Kadriorg Park is a historic and expansive green space in Tallinn, Estonia, created in 1718 by Peter the Great. The park surrounds the Kadriorg Palace, a Baroque masterpiece designed by Italian architect Niccolo Michetti as a summer residence for Peter's wife, Catherine I. The palace, with its symmetrical pink and white façade and opulent interiors, is a prominent example of Baroque architecture.

Today, the Kadriorg Palace houses the Kadriorg Art Museum, which is part of the Estonian Art Museum. The museum features an extensive collection of European art from the 16th to the 20th centuries, including works from the Renaissance, Baroque, and early Modernist periods. Visitors can explore art by renowned European artists and enjoy the museum’s beautifully preserved historical setting.

Kadriorg Park, with its beautifully landscaped gardens, fountains, and serene Swan Pond, provides a picturesque backdrop for the palace and museum. It is a popular destination for both locals and tourists, offering a blend of cultural, historical, and natural attractions.
