Kadriorg Palace and Park in Tallinn, Estonia was built in 1718 at the command of Tsar Peter I of Russia as a summer residence. It was designed by Italian architect Niccolò Michetti in the Baroque style. The palace and surrounding park have since served as a symbol of Russian power and influence in Estonia. They remain important historical and cultural sites, with Kadriorg Palace now housing an art museum. The grounds have also hosted the Tallinn Song Festival, a large choral event started in 1869 that was influential during Estonia's Singing Revolution independence movement in the late 1980s.
