ESTONIA - Tallinn

Thanks to Taimi for the card.

ESTONIA - Viru Gates,Tallinn

Walls of Tallinn.  Thanks to Anja for a card from her vacation to Estonia.

"The first wall around Tallinn was ordered to be constructed by Margaret Sambiria in 1265 and for that reason, it was known as the Margaret Wall. This wall was less than 5 metres (16 ft) tall and about 1.5 metres (4.9 ft) thick at its base. Since that time it has been enlarged and strengthened. The walls and the many gates are still largely extant today. This is one of the reasons that Tallinn's old town became a World Heritage Site. The walls were enlarged in the fourteenth century, and citizens of Tallinn were required to turn out for guard duty, which meant to wear their armour and demonstrate their readiness to face off invaders."

ESTONIA - 12 Beautiful View from TALLINN

Another card from Sava from his trip to Estonia.  It is really beautiful city.  Thanks Sava for sharing the view with me.

"Tallinn, Estonia’s capital on the Baltic Sea, is the country’s cultural hub. It retains its walled, cobblestoned Old Town, home to cafes and shops, as well as Kiek in de Kök, a 15th-century defensive tower. Its Estonian History Museum is dedicated to the country's 20th-century history, and its Gothic, towering Town Hall is among the Baltic region's oldest."
