Geocache Description:


[EST] Eesti Pank asutati aastal 1919 ning kuulub veerandsaja maailma vanima keskpanga hulka. Pangakvartalis on kokku seitse hoonet, kuid see aare viib teid kvartali vanima hoone, Eestimaa Aadlike Krediidiühingu pangahoonet imetlema. Hoone valmis aastal 1904, tänapäevasel aadressil Estonia pst 11 ning oli esimene tänapäevane spetsiaalne pangahoone Tallinnas. Tallinna kohta väga unikaalse arhitektuuriprojekti autor on Riia arhitekt August Reinberg. Majal on uhke nurgatorn, mille tipus on lõvikujuline tuulelipp ning seina ehivad Tallinna, Rakvere, Paldiski, Paide, Haapsalu ja Harjumaa mosaiikvapid. Lisaks keskpangale endale tegutseb hoone esimesel korrusel ka muuseum.

Selle aarde logimiseks tuleb teha endast, enda osast või enda kasutajanimest foto, nii et taustale jääb ka eelnevalt mainitud nurgatorn ning postitada see foto koos logiga.

 

[ENG] Eesti Pank (Estonian central bank) was founded in 1919, making it one of the top 25 oldest central banks in the World. The banking quarter has a total of seven buildings, but this cache takes you to the oldest one - Estonian Noblemen's Credit Union (Eestimaa Aadlike Krediidiühing) banking building. The building was finished as the first modern banking building in 1904 and is located at Estonia pst 11. The project, which looks very unique for Tallinn, was created by architect August Reinberg from Riga. The building has a fancy corner tower with a lion-shaped weathervane at the top and mosaic coats of arms of Tallinn, Rakvere, Paldiski, Paide, Haapsalu and Harjumaa decorating its outer wall. In addition to the central bank itself, the first floor of the building also houses a museum.

In order to log this cache, you must take a photo of the aforementioned corner tower, featuring (a part of) yourself or your username and post the photo alongside your log.
