Town Wall and its Towers
The first town wall of Tallinn, which was rather low and modest, was built in the second
half of the 13th century. It was called Margaret's Wall by the Danish queen Margaret in
1265. In 1310 Johan Canne was appointed Viceregent of Tallinn and he started the re-
construction of the wall, known as Canne Wall. The wall was completed by 1355. The
wall was 6.5 metres high and 2.3 metres thick and had 14 towers. The defence gallery ran
along the inside of the wall.
In the first half of the 15th century the wall was reconstructed again. The wall was made
higher and thicker. It was 11-16 metres high. The tower of Tall Hermann was built. In the
