Old Tallinn
current Gothic monument, hewn from limestone, in 1402-1404. The Hall served its function as the
home of the city administration for an incredible 700 years, right up until 1970.
It remains an incredible building inside and out. From within, admire vaulted roofs and brightly
decorated colonnades, from outside marvel at the slender tower, topped with Renaissance spire
(added in 1627), reaching 64m towards the ether. Incidentally, the moustachioed weather vane on
top is the symbolic guardian of the city - Vana Toomas!
