Description of the photograph
Title: | Patkuli stairs up to the Toompea in Tallinn | Taken from: | On the Nunne path in Tallinn, Estonia. | Description: | In 1903, when the Patkuli stairs were built near the northern end of the hill, Toompea got a new access from the direction of the main railway station of Tallinn. Toompea (from German: Domberg, "Cathedral Hill") is a limestone hill in the central part of the city of Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. The hill is an oblong tableland, which measures about 400 by 250 meters, has an area of 7 hectares and is about 20-30 meters higher than the surrounding areas. In folklore the hill is known as the tumulus mound over the grave of Kalev, erected in his memory by his grieving wife. | Keywords: | wall, hill, house |
