This place is called the courtyard of the Danish King, that very Valdemar who, in essence, founded what is today called Tallinn. According to legend, a flag descended straight from the heavens onto him here. It was red with a white cross - the flag of Denmark. On this occasion, Danes hold an annual commemorative ceremony here.
