Main sights
Dome Church (Toomkirik)
Estonia's oldest church, Dome Church (Toomkirik) was
founded in the early 13th century by the earliest Danish
conquerors of the region. It stands on Toompea hill which, with
its fine views over the town and harbour, became the
birthplace of Tallinn when the German Knights of the Sword
built a fortress here around 1230.
Main sights
Oleviste Church
Near the end of Pikk tänav stands a chief Tallinn landmark,
the Oleviste Church . This is a great place to start any
Tallinn expedition as there's a superb observation deck,
halfway up its 124m structure offering the city's best views
of the Old Town (it's a long and narrow climb up, though).

Sport plays an important role in Estonian culture. Estonia first competed as a nation at the
1920 Summer Olympics, although the National Olympic Committee was established in 1923. Estonian athletes took
part of the Olympic Games until the country was annexed by the Soviet Union in 1940. The 1980 Summer Olympics
Sailing regatta was held in the capital city Tallinn. After regaining independence in 1991, Estonia has participated in
all Olympics. Estonia has won most of its medals in athletics, weightlifting, wrestling and cross-country skiing.
The list of notable Estonian athletes include wrestlers Kristjan Palusalu, Voldemar Väli and Georg Lurich, skiers
Andrus Veerpalu and Kristina Smigun-Vähi, decathlonist Erki Nool, tennis player Kaia Kanepi, cyclists Jaan Kirsipuu
and Erika Salumäe and discus throwers Gerd Kanter and Aleksander Tammert.
culture

western and eastern Europe on many levels.The
Estonian Academy of Arts (Estonian: Eesti Kunstiakadeemia, EKA) is
providing higher education in art, design, architecture, media, art history
and conservation while Viljandi Culture Academy of University of Tartu
has an approach to popularize native culture through such curricula as
native construction, native blacksmithing, native textile design,
traditional handicraft and traditional music, but also jazz and church

Estonia topic

Introduction Estonia, officially the Republic of Estonia (Estonian: Eesti or Eesti Vabariik) is a country in the Baltic region of Northern Europe. It is bordered to the north by Finland across the Gulf of Finland, to the west by Sweden across the Baltic Sea, to the south by Latvia (343 km), and to the east by the Russian Federation (338,6 km). The territory of Estonia covers 45,227 km² and is influenced by a temperate seasonal climate. The Estonians are a Finnic people closely related to the Finns, with the Estonian language sharing many similarities to Finnish. The modern name of Estonia is thought to originate from the Roman historian Tacitus, who in his book Germania (ca. AD 98) described a people called the Aestii. Similarly, ancient Scandinavian sagas refer to a land called Eistland, close to the German term Estland for the country.
