The wall was fortified by 27 towers, 18 of which have survived. In Tower Square you can admire several of them. The strongest are the cannon towers Fat Margaret and Kiek in the Kök (Peep into the Kitchen). Many towers in the Town wall have been restored as fine restaurants, cafés and intimate concert calls. Two-thirds of the old wall have survived, making it one of the most special medieval sights in Tallinn. The Tallinn Town Hall The Town Hall, the centre of administration and judicial power, was definitely the most important public building in the Middle Ages. The Tallinn Town Hall was first recorded in 1322, but there must have been some kind of a hall in the last quarter of the 13th century already, as Tallinn got its urban rights in 1248. The present Town Hall was built in 1401-1404, but was renovated in the 17th century. The last renovation took place in the 1970s when it got its original appearance. The weather vane was put on the spire in 1530

There are many other lakes and rivers too. Karksi Nuia is one of the most beautiful small towns in Estonia. It is a place you must visit. Geography and climate of Estonia Estonia lies on the eastern shores of the Baltic Sea immediately across the Gulf of Finland from Finland on the level northwestern part of the rising east European platform between 57.3° and 59.5° N and 21.5° and 28.1° E. Average elevation reaches only 50 metres (164 ft), and the country's highest point is the Suur Munamägi in the southeast at 318 metres (1,043 ft). Oil shale (or kukersite) and limestone deposits, along with forests which cover 47% of the land, play key economic roles in this generally resource- poor country. Estonia boasts over 1,400 lakes. Most are very small, with the largest, Lake Peipus, (Peipsi in Estonian) being 3555 km²; 1372 sq. mi. There are many rivers in the country. The largest are the Võhandu (162 km), Pärnu (144 km), and Põltsamaa (135 km)

Tartu Tartu is the second largest city of Estonia. In contrast to Estonia's political and financial capital Tallinn, Tartu is often considered the intellectual and cultural hub, especially since it is home to Estonia's oldest and most renowned university. Situated 186 km southeast of Tallinn, the city is the centre of southern Estonia. The Emajõgi river, which connects the two largest lakes of Estonia, crosses Tartu. The city is served by Tartu Airport. Tartu is also the seat of the Estonian University of Life Sciences, the Baltic Defence College, Estonian Aviation Academy , and the Estonian Ministry of Education and Research. Other notable institutions include the Supreme Court of Estonia (re-established in Tartu in autumn 1993), the Estonian Historical Archives and Estonian national theatre Vanemuine. Historical names of the town include Tarbatu,an Estonian fortress founded in the 5th century,Yuryev named c. 1030 by Yaroslav I the Wise, and Dorpat as first known by the German cru

Since the spring of 2003 people have been able to climb the tower to enjoy the view of Tallinn.

School name THEATRES IN TALLINN Term Paper Compiler: Tallinn 2013 Introduction Tallinn is the capital city of Estonia. In Estonia there are many theatres. Tallinn has 8 theatres. Most of them are located in the Old Town or near the Old Town. These 8 theatres are: Estonian National Opera, Tallinn City Theatre, Estonian Drama Theatre, Estonian State Puppet & Youth Theatre, Russian Drama Theatre, VAT Theatre, Theatre NO99 and Von Krahl Theatre. Estonian National Opera The song and drama society `'Estonia'' was founded in 1865. Play-acting started in 1871. The following theatre activites were relatively haphazard, theatre as a tradition really came into being since 1895, when the society began to direct song plays, folk plays and comedies, usually with singing and dancing; in the start of the XX century already saw more serious drama on the stage. In year 1906 Paul Pinna and Theodor Altermann founded a professional theatr
removed to another location as late as 1896. over the centuries the square, lined with beautiful medieval buildings, was the centre of social life the most crowded place in the town with its market stalls, weigh houses, the pillory and so on. The square has witnessed executions, festivals, carnivals and wedding ceremonies. Town Hall Square has retained its old function: it is popular among tourists and local people as a meeting place or a starting point for sightseeing. It's also the location of Estonia's most important Christmas tree. Records state that a tree was first placed there in 1441, earlier than in any other European country. According to modern customs the Mayor of Tallinn lights the first candles of the tree. There are many more interesting places to visit in Tallinn but these 5 are the most beautiful for me. I love the Old Town of Tallinn because the old buildings have somehow preserved very well
