Tartu

Tartu (formerly, German and Swedish: Dorpat, (Derpt) or ????? (Yuryev)) is the second largest town of Estonia, with a population of 101,297 (as of 2004) and an area of 38.8 km?. In contrast to Estonia's political and financial capital Tallinn, Tartu is often considered the intellectual and cultural centre, especially since it is home to Estonia's oldest and most renowned university. Situated 180 km southeast of Tallinn, Tartu is the centre of Southern Estonia. The Emaj?gi river, which connects the two largest lakes of Estonia, crosses the city for a length of 10 km.
