Tallinn-topic

Water was drawn either from public town wells or a private well in the cellar of the house. Streets Medieval Tallinn had narrow streets. The streets were named after various occupations or other characteristics, such as Rüütli (Knight's) Street, Munga (Monk's) Street, Kuninga (King's) Street, Pagari (Baker's) Street, Pikk (Long) Street, Lai (Broad) Street, Karja (Cattle) Street. There were some ancient streets in Tallinn which had obviously been named before the qonquest, marking the destination they finally led, like Harju and Viru Street. Foreigners usually had different names for such streets. The streets were paved since the beginning of the 14th century. Pikk Jalg was among the first to be paved. Town Hall Square got its cover in 1310. There were no streetlights. The houses had no numbers and were known by the owner's name. Churches The Cathedral of St. Mary the Virgin (the Dome Church) was consecrated in 1240.
