Saint Petersburg, Russia, July 28, 2005  A view along Lai Street (Lai ta"nav) in the Old Town of Tallinn, Estonia, looking towards the iconic St. Olaf s Church. The dominant spire in the background belongs to St. Olaf s Church. This Gothic church was once the tallest building in the world (from 1549 to 1625), and its 124-meter spire remains a defining feature of the Tallinn skyline. As the name suggests, this is one of the wider medieval thoroughfares in the city, running parallel to the busier Pikk ("Long") Street. Historically, it was a prestigious residential area for wealthy merchants and artisans. The street is lined with well-preserved medieval merchant houses. The buildings on the right likely include or are near the famous "Three Brothers" complex (Lai 38, 40, and 42), a group of medieval gabled houses similar to the "Three Sisters" on Pikk Street. The building with the warm light in the window (foreground right) exemplifies the historic limestone architecture characteristic of the Hanseatic era.

Saint Petersburg, Russia, September 4, 2018  This street is Rataskaevu, famously known as the location of the Cat s Well and the legendary "Devil s Wedding" house. The pink building on the right (Rataskaevu 16) is one of the most famous houses in Tallinn folklore. Legend says the devil once held his wedding here in the upper-left room, which was later bricked up to trap the evil spirits inside. Today, the building houses the highly rated Rataskaevu 16 restaurant, celebrated for its warm atmosphere and modern Estonian cuisine. Just out of view (near the intersection) is the historic well that gave the street its name ("Wheel Well"). In medieval times, locals believed an evil spirit lived in it and sacrificed stray cats to prevent the water from running dry, earning it the grim nickname "Cat s Well".

The focal point in the small square is the famous Cat s Well (Rataskaevu), which gave the street its name. According to local legend, a water spirit lived in the well, and the townspeople would sacrifice stray cats into it to prevent the wells from running dry. The yellow building on the left (Rataskaevu 7) houses the St. Petersbourg Hotel. It is the oldest operating hotel in Tallinn, originally opened in 1850 and located in a 15th-century building that was once a Russian merchant s home. Opposite the well (out of frame to the right, but significant to the street s lore) is the building at Rataskaevu 16, famously known as the site of "The Devil s Wedding." Legend says the devil held a party in the upper room of this house, and to this day, there is a painted "false window" on the facade to block the view into that haunted room. The building now houses a very popular restaurant of the same name.
