Toompea Hill is the site of the Danish castle that founded Tallinn in 1219 and Danish aristocracy lived there. Surrounded by thick walls and entered by a gate tower, there were cathedrals - including the beautiful Alexander Nevsky Cathedral and my favorite "Church to The Blessed Virgin" - the pink Parliament building and spectacular views of the city and Baltic Sea.

FYI: The picturesque cobble-stoned streets are murder on your feet! Please don't forget to Subscribe Share and Like. Thanks.
