Tallinn’s skyline is defined by its diverse religious architecture, spanning from the 12th-century Gothic spires of St. Olaf’s to the 19th-century onion domes of the Alexander Nevsky Cathedral. This collection includes the medieval Holy Spirit Church, home to a 14th-century bell and intricate wood carvings, and the limestone Kaarli Church, known for its neo-Romanesque design. These sites reflect Estonia’s complex history through Lutheran, Orthodox, and Catholic traditions.
