Lõik failist

The  Historic   Centre  (Old Town) of Tal inn is an exceptional y  complete  and wel -preserved 
medieval   northern  European trading city on the coast of the  Baltic  Sea. The city  developed  
as a significant centre of the Hanseatic League  during  the  major  period of  activity  of this 
great trading organization in the  13th -16th  centuries
The combination of the  upper  town on the high limestone hil  and the  lower  town at its  foot  
with many church spires forms an expressive skyline that is  visible  from a great  distance  
both  from  land  and sea. 
The upper town ( Toompea ) with the  castle  and the  cathedral  has always been the 
administrative centre of the  country , whereas the lower town preserves to a remarkable 
extent the  medieval   urban   fabric  of narrow  winding  streets, many of which  retain  their 
medieval  names , and fine public and burgher buildings,  including  town wal , Town Hal , 
pharmacy, churches, monasteries, merchants’ and craftsmen’ guilds, and the  domestic  
architecture of the merchants' houses, which have survived to a remarkable  degree . The 
distribution of  building  plots survives virtual y intact from the 13th- 14th  centuries. 
The Outstanding  Universal   Value  of the Historic Centre (Old Town) of Tal inn is 
demonstrated in its existence as an outstanding, exceptional y complete and wel  preserved 
example of a medieval northern European trading city that retains the  salient   features  of this 
unique form of economic and  social  community to a remarkable degree. 
Criterion (ii):​ The Historic Centre of Tal inn, among the most remote and  powerful  outposts 
of the colonizing activities of the Hanseatic League in the  north -eastern  part  of  Europe  in the 
13th-16th centuries, provided a crucible within which an international secular-ecclesiastical 
culture resulting from the interchange of Cistercians, Dominicans, the Teutonic  Order  and 
the  traditions  of the Hanseatic League,  formed  and was itself exported  throughout  northern 
Europe. 
Criterion (iv):​ The town plan and the buildings within it constitute a remarkable reflection of 
the coexistence of the  seat  of feudal overlords and a Hanseatic trading centre within the 
shelter of a common system of wal s and fortifications. 
Integrity  
The boundaries of the  inscribed  World  Heritage  property and its  buffer  zone were modified in 
2008 in order to bring the boundaries of the inscribed property in conformity with the 
boundaries of the Tal inn Old Town Conservation Area, recognized as a national  monument  
in Estonia. The historic centre of Tal inn World Heritage property (thus increased from 60 ha. 
to 113 ha.) now encompasses the upper town (Toompea), the lower town inside the 
medieval wal s, as wel  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 al  
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 
the sea to  include  views from Vi msi and Kopli peninsulas, the buffer zone now includes 9 
view sectors and 5 view corridors. 
To  date , Tal inn has maintained its  characteristic  skyline visible from both the sea and the 
land. The characteristic skyline  however   could  be vulnerable because of planned high  rise  
development   outside  the buffer zone. 
Authenticity 
The site preserves to a remarkable extent the medieval urban structure of building plots, 
streets and squares, set out in the 13th century, as wel  as medieval urban fabric. The radial 
street  network  is wel  endowed with buildings from the 14th-16th centuries. The town 
defences have been preserved over large sections at their  original   length  and  height , rising 
to over 15m in  places
In  addition  to architectural continuity, Old Town has  retained  its  traditional  use as a  living  
city,  hosting  domestic, commercial and  religious  functions, and retaining the upper town as 
the administrative centre of the country. Nevertheless increasingly historic  residential  
buildings are being refurbished for touristic or public use and thus  subject  to increased life 
safety  and accessibility requirements.

Giidindus- Toompea

TOOMPEA Toompea (from German Domberg – Cathedral Hill ) is a limestone hill with an area of about 7 hectares in the central part of Tallinn. It towers about 30-40 m above the surrounding areas. According to the legend it´s the tumulus mound over the grave of the national hero Kalev, erected stone by stone in his memory by his grieving wife Linda. It is the birthplace of Tallinn - a place where in 1229 the Knights of the Sword built a fortress instead of the wooden Estonian stronghold. Toompea Castle is also one of the most potent symbols of the reigning power. Today Toompea is the seat of the Government of Estonia as well as the Riigikogu, both of which are often simply colloquially referred to as Toompea. For centuries there was only one access to Toompea - Pikk Jalg - but there is also another way leading up to Toompea - Lühike Jalg, which was made in the 14th

Old Tallinn

Old Tallinn Old Town, a medieval walled city filled with old buildings and fortifications. The sheltered bay and the easily defended Toompea Hill made it a natural place to settle. Sometime about 1050 A.D. a fortress was built atop the hill, the first of many. In 1219 the Danes showed up as part of the Northern Crusade to subjugate the Baltics and convert the local pagans to Christianity whether they wanted to or not. The Danes improved the fortifications and expanded the town, which became
