Kadriorg and Pirita Kadriorg (Catherine's Valley), one of the oldest and largest parks in Estonia, covers about 70 hectares. Originally it was an are on the seashore featuring low meadows, shrub land and a few manor houses. In the 17th century most of the land was in the possession of Fonne, the Town Council's secretary.

Tallinn Old Town

What makes it even more special is that, due to the small population of Estonia, there are less than million Estonian speakers and yet, a tenth of them attend the event. Long established song festival traditions are most likely the reason why Estonians ­ not known for our pop- music or global musical prowess ­ are still referred to as the "singing nation". Singing and songs have played a very important role in Estonian history. Songs were sung when cottagers tilled the manor land, singing sparked the "awakening" era in Estonia, our troops sang national songs fighting through the world wars and during the end of eighties, the Singing Revolution (which started right here on the Song Festival grounds) enabled us to regain our independence from the Soviet Union. The Estonian national collection of folk songs comes second only to Ireland. 2007, the first-ever punk-song-choir festival was organised in Estonia

Tallinn-topic

Introduction Tallinn, the capital city of the Republic of Estonia and of the Harju county, is a town in North Estonia on the coast of the Gulf of Finland. It has nearly half a million inhabitants and covers an area of almost 160 sqkm. It is also an important economic and cultural centre and one of the main ports in the Baltic States. Tallinn is one of the oldest cities on the Baltic Sea. It is unique for its well-preserved architecture from the 13-15 centuries. In contrast to the ancient town-walls and towers, Tallinn of today offers modern hotels, restaurants, sport and cultural centres. Every five years national song and folk dance festivals take place in Tallinn. The yachting regatta of the 1980 Moscow Olympic Games was held at Pirita. History Tallinn means in English "Danish town". The place is believed to have been settled by Finno-Ugric people about 2500 BC. It was first marked on a map of the world by the Arab geographer al-Idrisi in 1154. The Estonians were the first to bui

Art Museum of Estonia

Art Museum of Estonia Art Museum of Estonia was founded on November 17th, 1919, but it was not until 1921 that it got its first permanent building ­ the Kadriorg Palace, built in the 18th century. In 1929 the palace was expropriated from the Art Museum in order to rebuild it as the residence of the President of Estonia. The Art Museum of Estonia was housed in several different temporary spaces, until it moved back to the palace in 1946. In September, 1991 the Kadriorg Palace was closed, because it had totally deteriorated by then. At the end of the year the Supreme Council of the Republic of Estonia decided to guarantee the construction of a new building for the Art Museum of Estonia in Kadriorg. Untill then the Knighthood House at Toompea Hill served as the temporary main building of the Art Museum of Estonia. The exhibition there was opened on April 1, 1993. Art Museum of Estonia premanently closed down the exhibitions in that building in October 2005. At the end of the 1970s, in

in mass repression and destroy the Estonian people. In opposition to the moderates, the Tallinn newspaper Teataja (1901­1905), its publisher Konstantin Päts and the lawyer Jaan Teemant, attracted a radical wing of people connected with socialists. The radicals were prepared to resort to revolutionary actions in order to achieve a democratic state; they also demanded an extensive reduction of the land possessed by the manor houses. Estonian socialists were divided into social-democratic-centralists and social-democratic- federalists. The first belonged to the local, strictly conspiratorial organisations of the illegal Russian Social-Democratic Workers' Party (founded in 1898) headed by Mikhail Kalinin and Friedrich Leberecht. The federalists followed Peeter Speek, editor-in-chief of the Tartu newspaper Uudised (News; banned in 1906). The main force behind the socialist and
