Could Toompea have looked something like this during the 17th century, before it was burned down? The cathedral was said to have been one of the few buildings that remained. On social media there has been some scepticism regarding the accuracy of this depiction of Toompea, but I have to admit I rather like this image.
Ilus Eesti, beautiful Estonia. My family's homeland. Estonia's countryside and people have an endearing gentleness about them which you fall in love with slowly and imperceptibly. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Estonians' courage and determination to survive despite centuries of repression, tyranny and foreign occupation.
