🎧 Listen to Introduction
Tallinn's history dates back to the 13th century, when crusading knights of the Teutonic Order built a castle on the site. Tallinn grew into a major centre of the Hanseatic League, and its wealth is evident in its magnificent public buildings (especially its churches) and its civil architecture of merchant houses, which have survived remarkably well despite damage from fire and war over the centuries.
