Defensive Walls, Tallinn: 34 reviews and 90 photos
It is a construction, that, possible, most impress visitors of Tallinn, as not much towns, especially in Northern Europe have old town walls and towers left. About half of town wall and towers survived - Tallinn old town has 2 kilometers long wall and 26 (from 46) towers.
It was constructed in different periods, but in the 16th century the town wall was one of the strongest in Europe. The most important cause why defensive structure still exists is that in medieval times most battles took place outside old town and almost never reach walls.
Directions: Around old town, recommended to walk around.
