Alexander Nevsky Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

The Alexander Nevsky Cathedral was built in 1895. A Luther memorial was originally planned for the location on Toompea, but the Russian authorities prohibited it from being erected, so today the Russian Orthodox Cathedral stands here.

Highlight • Monument

With the two kilometers remaining from the original city wall, Tallinn boasts one of the best preserved medieval fortifications in Europe. To a large extent, it is precisely this system of walls and towers that gives the old town its magical charm.
