Town Hall Pharmacy
热热爱生活0618The Pharmacy is the oldest of the prescriptions currently in operation in Tallinn, over 584 years old. This pharmacy is located in the corner of the town hall square. This pharmacy sells something else besides medicine. Now it offers modern products.
Tallinn Town Hall
真真的在一起的时候The interior decoration of Tallinn Town Hall is as simple as its exterior architecture. There are two halls that are worth seeing.
The Civic Hall was where banquets were held and city laws were read in the Middle Ages. Today, it is still used for receptions and concerts. The walls of the hall are freshly painted and very bright.
There are not many decorations in the hall. The most eye-catching one is the knitted tapestry hanging on the wall, which depicts the life of King Solomon. A careful appreciation of these tapestries shows that the characters are dressed quite noble and their movements are extremely elegant. The whole picture is very harmonious and charming, very similar to the international Gothic art style popular in the late Middle Ages.
The Parliament Hall is where the city council gathers to discuss local laws and regulations. Many of the oldest decorations are preserved here. However, the door of the hall was produced by the Tallinn Grand Piano Factory. It is black and varnished, just like a piano cover.
There is also a 15th-century wooden carved bench in the hall, covered with a piece of velvet cloth, and decorated with exquisite hollow carvings on both sides of the bench, which is the oldest wood carving artwork in Estonia.
In general, the decorations preserved inside Tallinn Town Hall are not as cool and charming as those in other major European city town halls. However, as the only Gothic town hall left in several Nordic countries, it is also a window to peek into and understand Tallinn's medieval art.
Walls of Tallinn

St Mary's Cathedral
老老少皆宜(程世荣)The main cathedral of the Virgin of Tallinn in Estonia is a major attraction here. We came here for the first stop after we arrived in Tallinn. At that time, there were a lot of tourists and they needed to queue up to enter, most of them were Chinese tour groups.
House of the Blackheads
热热爱生活0618The name of the Brotherhood is related to their backer, Black• St.• Mauritius, who died about 280-300 AD as an early Christian martyr. His avatar is the symbol of the Brotherhood badge.
Kadriorg Park
翱翱翔的大鲨鱼From 1718 to 1725, Peter I of the Russian Empire built a temporary summer residence here. It is in Baroque style and has an open garden. We like this park. There are neatly planted trees of different species, some of which have changed colors gorgeously. It feels like being in a forest. The air is fresh, there are a lot of negative ions, the environment is quiet, and it is a very livable space.
If you have the opportunity to come to Tallinn, it doesn’t matter whether you go to the palace or not, you must come to this park for a walk, especially for friends who love late autumn.
