Today, January 31, a popular Tallinn landmark, the Fat Margaret artillery tower (Paks Margareeta), located on the corner of the city wall at the end of Pikk Street, closed for a long-term renovation.
In a year and a half, the museum will have an interactive exhibition dedicated to shipbuilding, navigation and maritime trade, Euromag.ru writes with reference to the publication "Euro Pulse". Thanks to computer technology, visitors to the new exhibition will be able to feel like sailors on a medieval ship during a storm in the Baltic Sea and even captains of modern cruise ships plying the Tallinn-Helsinki route.
The reconstruction of Tolstaya Margarita will be completed by the summer of 2019.
The Fat Markagit tower with 155 loopholes was built in the early 16th century in front of the Great Sea Gate in the Tallinn city wall. Its diameter is 25 meters and its height is 20 meters. It currently houses the Estonian Maritime Museum.
