The Historic Centre (Old Town) of Tallinn
boundaries of the Tallinn Old Town Conservation Area, recognized as a national monument
in Estonia. The historic centre of Tallinn World Heritage property (thus increased from 60 ha.
to 113 ha.) now encompasses the upper town (Toompea), the lower town inside the
medieval walls, as well as the 17th century historic fortifications surrounding the entire Old
Town, and a range of primarily 19th century structures, streetscapes and views, which today
form a green area around the medieval city. This modification has ensured inclusion of all
primary elements contributing to the outstanding universal value of the property, and strongly
enhanced its completeness and integrity.
The buffer zone, increased from 370 ha to 2253 ha, also in 2008, now protects the
immediate setting of the inscribed property in a much more complete fashion. Extended to
