You're standing at Fat Margaret, a huge round tower on the edge of Tallinn's old town. Just look at how wide it is. The tower measures twenty-five meters across and stands twenty meters tall. In places its walls are up to five meters thick. It was the biggest piece of the entire city defences, and that's exactly where the nickname comes from. Fat she certainly is.
