    Just2 / 2 at the southern edge of Tallinn lies Lake Ülemiste. According to a legend, on the darkest autumnal night each year a mysterious old man climbs out of the Ülemiste depths, knocks on the city gates and asks whether the construction of Tallinn has been completed. The little man has sworn that, should it one day be finished, he will release the lake’s waters and drown out the whole city. The knowing guards therefore always answer, “No, good sir! There’s still a great deal of construction taking place. Please be so good as to come again after a little while.” That’s why Tallinn will never be completed. Though already eight centuries old, it’s still a work in progress, forever growing and reinventing itself while never forgetting its unique heritage. On Town Hall Square you can find a humble apothecary that’s been operating for nearly 600 years. Just a few steps away, there’s an old- fashioned café where specialists make marzipan figurines by hand – edible symbols of Tallinn’s fairytale charm. Nearby, in other cafés and lounge bars, the city’s residents are tapping away at their laptops and surfing the Internet in their iPhones. Historic. Romantic. Friendly. Relaxing. Modern. Daring.

Despite all the renovations that took place in the due course of time, this historic masterpiece retains its old-world charm, bearing a largely rustic demeanor. Originally built as a prison and a repository of ammunition, the tower, today, serves as a by Diego Delso meeting point where locals, tourists and history aficionados are together awed by its colossal scale and heritage. Rich with a strong historical background, Hellemann Tower houses the Citizen Hall, the Bumpkin Chamber and an art gallery, all of which harmoniously lend insights into the heritage of the place. Concurrently, the tower is located alongside the sprawling Town Wall, which is regarded as one of Europe’s best-preserved fortifications, upheld by a tapestry of defensive towers. Affording panoramic views of Tallinn’s charming landscape dominated with red- roofed houses, the tower regularly plays host to many art exhibitions and private functions. A prized historic wonder of Tallinn, the glorious Hellemann Tower is a stirring testament to the long-standing military legacy of Estonia.
