In 1997 Tallinn's Old Town was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List. As one of the best-preserved old cities in northern Europe, it has in recent years been attracting more and more attention. And outside the Old Town, other districs of the city also desreve attention, for example Kadriorg and Pirita, Kopli and Kalamaja, and Nómme, originally founded as an independent satellite town. Most of the pictures in this book are of the Old Town, the most rewarding district. But attention has also been given to the city centre, where a major building boom, going on since the restoration of independence, has in a short time left many city sights only a memory. The tour around the historical capital city begins at Narva Avenue and ends on the ridge of Mustamäe in front of the romantic castle of Baron von Glehn, the founder of Nõmme. We hope this picture album will bring the joy of recognition to old-time Tallinners, while delighting younger history lovers as well as visitors to Tallinn. Near Fine / Near Fine. Item #3806
