Estonia's capital, Tallinn, lies just
St. Petersburg and Stockholm. The first recorded stronghold was
built here by Estonians in the 10th century, only to be taken over
by the powerful seafaring Danes in 1219. In 1285, Tallinn was
incorporated into the successful Hanseatic League, a German
mercantile group operating in northern Europe during medieval
times. Because of its strategic location, Tallinn experienced many
different occupations over the centuries, which resulted in a
cultural mix that lEnd a unique ambiance to this maritime city.
In our century, the proud people of Estonia, along with their
Latvian and Lithuanian neighbors, endured Soviet rule for over 50
years. Then, in 1991, following the great upheaval in the Soviet
Union, these three brave countries proudly joined the world of
independent nations and finally enjoyed their freedom.
Estonia is surrounded by water. The country's 17,000 square miles
include a staggering 800 islands and more than 1,500 lakes.
Watersports are quite popular during the summer months and fishing
is a national pastime.
The Old Town, with its cobbled streets and 13th-14th century
buildings, attracts thoUSAnds of visitors each year. They come to
admire the city's heritage of medieval buildings, the imposing
City Hall which dates back to 1454, the Orthodox Cathedral,
Toompea Castle and Oleviste Church - all prominent architectural
landmarks. A local convent has been instructing students for more
than 200 years. Sip coffee in a waterfront cafe and reflect on
recent and current events.
