Tallinn Old Town Photos Slideshow
The unique value of Tallinn's Old Town lies first and foremost in the well-preserved completeness of its medieval milieu and structure, which has been lost in most of the capitals of northern Europe. Since 1997, the Old Town of Tallinn has been on UN
Tallinn is one of the best retained medieval European towns, with its web of winding cobblestone streets and properties, from the 11th to 15th centuries, preserved nearly in its entirety. All the most important state and church buildings from the Middle Ages have been preserved in their basic original form, as well as many citizens' and merchants' residences, along with barns and warehouses from the medieval period.
Tallinn Town Hall
Tallinn`s late Gothic Town Hall building is one of the most famed symbols of the city, recognized throughout Estonia as a venerable, unique architectural treasure.
The Town Hall was established on the central square, probably at the beginning of 13th century. In 1402-1404, the building was substantially reconstructed. The exterior we know today dates from this period, and the basic room plan has also been preserved, as it was reconstructed for hosting receptions.
The second floor was and still is the main floor, where the Citizen`s Hall, the Council Hall, a small kitchen and chancery are located and where festive receptions and concerts are held, just as they were in the Medieval days of yore. The three-nave cellar hall is open to citizens and guests today as an exhibit hall.
Summer 2004, the Town Hall celebrated its 600th anniversary.

Pictures of Tallinn In Winter
A true wintery evening in Tallinn Old Town is probably the most romantic thing in the world. Quiet snow-covered cobblestone streets, streetlamps glowing, snow falling slowly, then going for a warm cup of mulled wine or hot chocolate in a cozy cafe - that's when winter does not feel cold and dark at all.
