Tallinn's Old Town retains roughly 1.85 km of its original defensive wall and 26 of its original towers, one of the best-preserved medieval fortification systems in Northern Europe. The Hellemann Tower entrance, on Müürivahe street, opens onto the longest publicly walkable stretch of that wall — a covered, timber-roofed passage running nearly 200 meters between Hellemann Tower and the neighboring Sauna and Nunna towers, with window openings looking down over the Old Town rooftops.
