Brief Description
"The origins of Tallinn date back to the 13th century, when a castle was built there by the crusading knights of the Teutonic Order. It developed as a major centre of the Hanseatic League, and its wealth is demonstrated by the opulence of the public buildings (the churches in particular) and the domestic architecture of the merchants' houses, which have survived to a remarkable degree despite the ravages of fire and war in the intervening centuries."
塔林历史中心（老城）
"塔林的起源可追溯到13世纪，当时的条顿骑士团的十字军骑士们在这里建造了一个城堡， 后来，这里又发展成为汉斯同盟(Hanseatic League)的主要中心。在后来的几个世纪，这里屡遭战火，但许多建筑还是较为完好地保留了下来，公共建筑（特别是教堂）之豪华以及商店内部装璜之考究 充分展示了当时这里的繁荣和富裕。"
