2 Towns (Upper & Lower Town) Tallinn used to be divided into 2 parts - Upper Town where lived the aristocracy, gentry and the clergy; and Lower Town with traders, craftsmen and merchants. Legend says the Toompea Hill is actually the tumulus mound of the great Kalev. Linda carried rocks to his grave. It is a naturally- formed limestone hill. Lower Town was a merchantile centre, Tallinn also belonged to the Hansaetic League (1285). It is often referred to as the town of citizens. Any grown-up, married and economically independent person, born in a legal marriage between two free people and having lived in the town for at least 3 months, could apply to the Magistracy for citizenship. Serfs could escape from serdom after having successfully hidden in town for a year and a day. Two parts remained separated until the end of the 19th century. Four Names Lyndanise - mentioned by Henricus de Lettis in his Chronicle; derives from the name Linda -

Giidindus- Toompea

Until the 20th century there was no way down from the western side of Toompea except for a foot-path. The stairs were built in 1903 and called Patkul Stairs after Dietrich Friedrich von Patkuli who had been the deputy Governor in Tallinn during the Great Northern War. Pikk Jalg (Long Leg) - the original road leading to the ancient Estonian stronghold (therefore the oldest street in Tallinn) and the only public road connecting the upper and lower town. It was paved with cobblestones already in the 14th century and was considered quite a dangerous place in the old times. It was certainly not recommended to walk along it after dark and it was not an easy road to be taken on a carriage, as the steep rise often proved too difficult for the horses and going down usually required excellent coachman´s skills. The present day 5-storeyed gate tower dates from 1380. Lühike Jalg (Short Leg) was first mentioned in 1353. This street belonged to the

Tallinn: Ecce Revalia The legend of St. Olaf's Church In ancient times Tallinn was said to have been quite small, and it would just now grow bigger. The town could not boast of any trade, and farther away it was completely unknown. It even did not have its own church. The townspeople were eager to make their own famous, but they did not know how to do it. They tried in several ways, but always failed. Finally a man had a good idea: he ordered that a church should be built that existed nowhere else. The others liked the idea as this way they could make double profit from the building.
