Viru Square

Viru Square (Estonian: Viru väljak) was a square in the center of Tallinn, Estonia. It existed as a square until 2002 when the construction of Viru Centre began. Currently only a roundabout and an official "street name" are left of the former open area. The roundabout is the intersection of three main streets of Tallinn: Pärnu maantee (Pärnu Road), Narva maantee (Narva Road), Mere puiestee (Sea Avenue); and two smaller: Viru tänav and Vana-Viru tänav (Old-Viru Street). Also, all of the five tram lines of Tallinn(except 2, which goes via the harbour)go through the roundabout.
