Epic architecture.
ReplyDeleteThe old town of Tallinn, a historically called Reval, the capital of Estonia is one of the world's best preserved medieval architectural ensembles. The countryside retains around (I'm wondering... probably about 1800-2000) historic manors representing a range of styles like neo-Classicist and others which I can't spell. =/ Castles such as Toompea Castle, Hermann Tower and Kuressaare Castle are probably the best preserved medieval fortresses in Estonia. Old part's architecture of city represents a travel through time. Already for 4 centuries. =/
