Old Town (2W)



Olde Hansa building in the centre of the old town of Tallinn

Tallinn the capital of Estonia is named after Taani Linnus (which means Danish Castle)... or is it? Some say it could also have come from tali-linna (winter castle or town) or perhaps from talu-linna (house/farmstead-castle/town... Hmm. Wherever the name comes from the place is worth while visiting as it is full of medieval buildings, romantic alleyways and personal signs.
