The first wall around Tallinn was ordered to be constructed by Margaret Sambiria in 1265, and for that reason it was known as the Margaret Wall. The original wall was only 5 metres high and 1,5 metres thick but since that time it has been strengthened and fortified, mainly in the 14th century. Most of the original wall and the towers are still in existence today making it the best example of medieval fortifications in the world. This is one of the reasons why the Old City of Tallinn was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tallinn is the capital and largest city of Estonia. The population of Tallinn is approximately 435,000 and occupies an area of roughly 160 square kilometres. Tallinn lies on the shore of the Gulf of Finland approximately 80 kilometres south of Helsinki, east of Stockholm and west of St Petersburg, Russia. The old town of Tallinn is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. Records date the city back as far as 1154.
