Marzipan or Mart's Bread Historians might tell you that marzipan, that sweet confection made from almonds and sugar, comes from Persia or Italy, but local legend insists the delicacy was invented right here at Tallinn's Town Hall Pharmacy. Long ago, so the story goes, a town alderman fell ill and summoned the apothecary to prescribe a cure.

Guild only accepted merchants, who had a house, wife and who was local. Great Guild activity ended in 1920, when Estonia abolished guilds.

In 1410, the construction was completed. Same year the Great Guild moved into the building.
