Tallinn Town Hall Square
in the Medieval days of yore. The threenave cellar hall is open to citizens and guests today as an
exhibit hall.
Summer 2004, the Town Hall celebrated its 600th anniversary.
Town Hall Pharmacy is one of the oldest pharmacies still functioning in its original spot in all of
Europe.
The pharmacy, which stands on the corner of the Town Hall Square, was first mentioned in historical
documents in 1422, but by some accounts, it may be older still. The town councilgoverned pharmacy
sold many other goods besides medicine.
Over the centuries, it has changed slightly, but it still retains the flavour of bygone days, while it sells
modern medicines. Medieval medicinal ingredients like bat powder and snakeskin are no longer
available, but you can still try the fine spiced claret, renowned already in the Middle Ages.
The House of the Brotherhood of Blackheads is nearly the only preserved Renaissance building
in Tallinn.
