The Red Tower was built 600 years ago as a prison and defense tower. Over the past 100 years, the building has been used as a warehouse and archive for the city. The defense floor of the tower was then converted into a circular panoramic cinema showing a 10-minute animated film illustrating the history of Pärnu; When you visit it, you will need to purchase a ticket that includes a cinema show and a 30-minute tour of the tower; Because of limiting the number of people in the tower at one time, it is preferable to purchase tickets in advance via the Internet.
