After spending the morning visiting the Estonian Maritime Museum, and the 'Fat Margaret' tower, it was time to check out the remaining medieval defensive walls around Tallinn.
Starting off walking by the Epping Tower, Plate Tower then to Nunnatorn, Nun's Tower where you enter and proceed up an extremely steep staircase to get to the elevated walkway at the top of the City Wall.
Whilst only a few stories high, the views are amazing, especially knowing how old the walls are.
Construction of the City Walls began in 1265 under the reign of Margaret Sambiria.
The section in this video is widely regarded as the best preserved section from the Grusbeke Tagune Tower, Epping Tower, Plate Tower, Köismäe Tower, Loewenschede and Nunnadetagune towers, Golden Leg Tower (Kuldjala Torn), Sauna Tower, through to Nunnatorn (Nun’s Tower).
It should be noted, as mentioned previously regarding the steep staircase, there are plenty of passageways, staircases, crawl spaces that are not easy to access... but well worth checking out.
Next up, more City Wall section, Towers and Underground Tunnels.
