about Tallinn

The city of Tallinn is the capital city and main seaport of Estonia. It is located on Estonia's north coast to the Baltic Sea, 80 kilometres south of Helsinki.

Tallinn history

Historically, the city has been attacked, sacked, razed and pillaged on numerous occasions. It was the centre of the medieval salt-trade on which it grew rich and prosperous.

In addition to the native Estonian language (which is of the Finno-Ugric group, closely related to the Finnish language), both Russian and English are widely understood.

Although extensively bombed during the latter stages of World War II, much of the mediaeval old town still retains its charm. Tallinn Old Town became a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage site in 1997.

At the end of the 15th century the tower The Saint Olaf's Church got a new gothic tower which was 159 meters high. This was very unique at this time - it was then without question one of the highest towers in Europe and most likely the highest building in the world. The tower is now (after rebuilding because of fire) 123 meters high.
