The Medieval Charm of Tallinn 🎄

🍊Tallinn's Old Town, inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, preserves its medieval character perfectly. 🍊After admiring Finland's modern architecture, exploring this ancient city feels like stepping into another world. 🍊The Old Town is divided into the Upper Town (Toompea) and Lower Town, 💗 🍊but both can easily be explored on foot. 🎄 Upper Town Panoramic Views 🌷Head to the viewing platforms in the Upper Town for breathtaking views of Tallinn.💗 🌷The two main viewpoints—Kohtuotsa Viewing Platform and Patkuli Viewing Platform—are just a short walk apart. 🌷 From here, the most striking landmark is the Gothic spire of St. Olaf’s Church, standing 124 meters tall and 🌷making it the tallest structure in the Old Town. Nearby, the shorter spire belongs to the Holy Spirit Church. 🌷The medieval cityscape is a sea of terracotta rooftops, creating a picture-perfect scene.💗 🎄 Alexander Nevsky Cathedral ✅The Upper Town is also home to Tallinn’s largest Orthodox church—the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral, 💗 ✅built in the 19th century. Its colorful onion domes are a hallmark of Russian Orthodox architecture, a legacy of the Soviet era.✅ 🎄 Town Hall Square ✅Like many European old towns, Tallinn’s central square is surrounded by colorful historic buildings,💡 ✅ with the Gothic Town Hall as its centerpiece. 💡 ✅The square has a fairytale-like charm, especially during Christmas markets or summer festivals.💡 #Estonia #Tallinn #StOlafsChurch 🇪🇪
