It was first recorded in Tallinn in 1154. The Danes built a castle here in 1219 and occupied Tallinn from 1227 to 1346. The etymology of Tallinn is composed of "Danish" and "Bunker", which means "Danish bunker". In 1991, Estonia became the capital after regaining its independence.

administrative division

To facilitate the implementation of regional governance, Tallinn city is divided into eight administrative regions (Estonian: linnaosad, SG. - linnaosa), each with its own regional government. These district governments are set up by the municipal government to manage their respective districts according to the constitution of Tallinn and the functions given by the legislature.

Every district government has a "elder" (Estonian: linnaosavanem). The elder is nominated by the mayor according to the opinions of the Executive Council and appointed by the municipal government. The function of the Executive Council is to advise the municipal government and its committees on how to govern district administration.

Tallinn style

The historical centre (old town) of Tallinn is most proud of its colorful public buildings, especially the interior structures of churches and shops. Tallinn's Cathedral retains its Gothic style despite continuous renovation. Although these buildings were plundered by fire and war, they still maintained their outstanding style. Tallinn has retained the most remarkable features of its political and economic history. It is a remarkable and perfect model of the medieval commercial city in northern Europe.

Surrounded by water on three sides, Tallinn is the only city in northern Europe with the appearance and style of the middle ages. The urban area is divided into old city and new city. In the middle of the 13th century, the old town of Tallinn was divided into the upper city and the lower city. The upper city was the gathering place of the upper class, religious class and feudal dignitaries. The famous castle tombia was located in the upper city (Fortress mountain Toompea Hill). Xiacheng is the residence of merchants and handicraftsmen. There is lakoya square. On the square stands an octahedral pyramid tower municipal building. On the top of the tower stands the statue of the patron saint of Thomas, which is the symbol of Tallinn city. The center of the new town is Vilu square, a street leading from the square to the old city. On the square there is one of Tallinn's largest hotels, the Vilu hotel. The square is surrounded by modern radial highways leading to other cities in Estonia. There are many parks in the new town. At the confluence of the waterfront boulevards, there is cadriorg Park (also known as Yekaterinburg Park), which was established by the order of tsarist Peter the great. There is a 16 meter high bronze angel statue in the park, which was created by Estonian sculptor Adam in 1902. It is said that it was built to commemorate the sinking of the Russian warship Mermaid in 1893. Near the park, there is an open-air singing field established in 1960, which is one of the excellent music fields in Europe. Its shape is unique: the stage is parabolic, with its back to the sea, which can accommodate 30000 people to sing on the same stage; the auditorium is set on the natural semicircle platform near the sea, which can accommodate 150000 people. There are many famous historic sites in the city, including castles, churches and other ancient buildings from the 13th to 15th century. Among them, the olvez cathedral is the highest church along the Baltic Sea. There are also ancient city walls, towers and castles built in the middle ages, which are still standing, and the ancient style still exists.
