Here is a picture of the Viru Gate, one of the main entrances to old town. This gate was originally built in the 13th century, and while it isn't completely intact, what's left seems to be holding up pretty well (though some of what you see was added later). The street winds up and around to the main square and the town hall (the minaret in the distance). With temps in the high 70s F (mid 20's C), lots of people were out and about strolling the cobble stone streets today.
It' so idyllic - like a scene from a fairy story! I do hope you are inspired, Kenneth. It looks like a truly amazing place.

ReplyDeleteYes, it is quite an inspirational place! I've been meaning to tweet about it now and then, but keep forgetting...
