Reval Choosing Sweden, 1560
Reval stands at the fulcrum of the Livonian collapse: the town’s councils and merchants weigh Swedish protection while Russian armies and neighbouring powers rearrange the map. The walk shows stone walls topped with new cannon embrasures, crowded quays and guild-lined streets, mercenary camps and the great church spires that still define the skyline.
34 scenes — 22 streets, squares and views, 12 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Tallinn as it stood in 1560 (“Livonian War”).
