Saint Petersburg, Russia, 3:59 p.m. June 25, 2003  Intersection on Pikk Street (at Pikk 17), looking towards the Town Hall Square area. The view is dominated by two historically significant buildings and a lively restaurant scene. The large, gabled building on the right (Pikk 17) is the Great Guild Hall, built in 1417. For centuries, this was the meeting place for the city s most powerful merchants (the Great Guild), who controlled the town council. The building is a masterpiece of medieval limestone architecture, featuring a prominent Gothic portal and a high saddle roof. Today, it houses the Estonian History Museum. The smaller archway next to it (right foreground) is a historic passage, the "Bo"rsi ka"ik" (Exchange Passage), leading towards the Holy Spirit Church. Though partially obscured, the building further down the street with the stepped gable is connected to the complex of the Church of the Holy Spirit. This church is famous for its 17th-century painted clock, the oldest in Tallinn, which faces Pikk Street (though not clearly visible from this specific angle). This section of Pikk Street is a major pedestrian artery, connecting the northern part of the Old Town (where St. Olaf s is) to the central Town Hall Square.

Saint Petersburg, Russia, January 8, 2016  Vana Turg (Old Market) square, dominated by the Peppersack restaurant building. The central white building with the high gable and hoist beam is Peppersack (Viru 2 / Vana turg 6). Dating back to 1370, this historic structure was originally a merchant s house and granary. The name "Peppersack" refers to a nickname given to wealthy merchants (who traded in expensive spices like pepper) or possibly a specific owner, Hans Peppersack. Today, it is a popular medieval-themed restaurant known for its sword-fighting shows and hearty Estonian cuisine. To the right of Peppersack is the Art Nouveau building housing Scheeli Restaurant (Vana turg 2). Known for its elegant interior and romantic atmosphere, it offers a contrast to the rustic medieval style of its neighbor, serving refined European cuisine in a setting that recalls the 1920s. The square features a stunning ensemble of Gothic and Art Nouveau architecture. The Peppersack building retains its medieval pulley system (visible on the facade), which was used to hoist goods into the storage floors. The red sack hanging from the facade is a playful nod to the building s name. This spot is a major intersection in the Old Town, where Viru Street meets the Old Market, just steps away from the Town Hall Square.

Saint Petersburg, Russia, January 8, 2016  View along Mu"ndi Street (Mu"ndi ta"nav), looking towards the Tallinn Town Hall and its iconic spire. This short, cobbled street connects Pikk Street to the Town Hall Square (Raekoja plats). Historically known as "Mu"ndrikute ta"nav" (Street of the Porters), it was a key route for goods moving from the harbor to the market. The large pink building on the right (corner of Mu"ndi and Kinga streets) is a prominent residential and commercial block. Its ground floor houses souvenir shops like Lina, selling traditional linen goods, and the Japarto Crepes & Waffles cafe (visible signage "TURU" further down). The building s mansard roof and regular fenestration are typical of the 19th and early 20th-century renovations in the Old Town. At the end of the street, the Tallinn Town Hall (Tallinna raekoda) rises majestically. It is the oldest surviving Gothic town hall in Northern Europe, completed in 1404.
