Looking down Mu"u"rivahe Street (Mu"u"rivahe ta"nav), running alongside the medieval city wall of Tallinn. The dominant feature is the massive, 14th-century limestone defensive wall on the right. What stands out in this specific section (near Mu"u"rivahe 52) are the large concrete buttresses supporting the wall. Unlike the original medieval masonry, these are modern reinforcements added during the Soviet era (specifically in the late 1960s or 70s) to stabilize this section of the wall, which was in danger of collapsing. While effective, they are often noted for their distinct, brutalist contrast with the historic stonework. Further down the wall, you can see the red-tiled roof of the defensive walkway (chemin de ronde) and the towers (Hellemann Tower is nearby) that made Tallinn one of the best-fortified cities in Northern Europe. At the base of the wall, the original pointed arches (niches) are illuminated, highlighting the texture of the rough-hewn limestone. These niches historically housed workshops or stalls. The street name "Mu"u"rivahe" literally means "the gap between the walls," referring to the space between the main city wall and the lower defensive earthworks that once existed here.
