UNESCO - Tallinn Old Town, Estonia, Nightiew


A great UNESCO card from Anna in Estonia.  The info on the back just says Tallinn, Estonia but Anna confirms that it's an area in Old Town. Historic Centre (Old Town) of Tallinn.

Tallinn, Estonia



One of my mums favourite cities is Tallinn.  She likes cruises to see the world and has taken a few that have stops in Tallinn and she always looks forward to it.  I had thought that this might count as a UNESCO card but it's only Tallinn old town that is a WHS site.  Ah well, I'll get one eventually.

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.

UNESCO - Salamanca, Spain



A great addition to my UNESCO collection from Spain.  I love nightviews and this one of the Plaza Mayor, Salamanca is amazing.

Salamanca is an ancient university town situated in the west of Spain in the Autonomous Community of Castilla and León. The Carthaginians first conquered the city in the 3rd century B.C. It then became a Roman settlement before being ruled by the Moors until the 11th century. The university, one of the oldest in Europe, reached its high point during Salamanca's Golden Age. The city's historic centre has important Romanesque, Gothic, Moorish, Renaissance, and Baroque monuments. The Plaza Mayor, with its galleries and arcades, is particularly impressive.

Thanks Fabienne

Juifen, Taipei



I LOVE this card so much! I'm a massive fan on the Studio Ghibli film Spirited Away, and this just reminds me so much of that. It looks so beautiful! I'd love to see it with my own eyes.
