Filosoofi Department environs

Here are a few pictures from inside and outside the Philosophy Department (the Estonian for "philosophy" is "filosoofi"). First, one of me working diligently in my office. Second, the view out of my office window onto the side street running behind the main University building.



The Philosophy Department is located a stone's throw from the main square, so looking back towards the river from the front steps of the Department you can see the Town Hall and part of the square itself.


In the other direction is a view up 'Cathedral Hill', with the ruins of Tartu Cathedral at the top. It is the presence of this steep hill that made Tartu of such strategic importance over the centuries.
