Small local history museum. Nearby on the lawn lies a boat from the ferry Estonia. Apparently it was torn off by a storm. Unfortunately, it didn’t save anyone. It was washed up by the current to the local coast.

An interesting small museum where you can learn about the local life. Great hostess!

Good museum. In some ways even more interesting than Kärdla's.

Museum house with a good view. Many things were far away, but some were familiar things from 20-50 years ago. A moment to meet the past and a reminder.

Villa d'Este

The Villa d'Este is a 16th-century villa in Tivoli, near Rome, famous for its terraced hillside Italian Renaissance garden and especially for its profusion of fountains: the extraordinary system contains fifty-one fountains and nymphaeums, 398 spouts, 364 water jets, 64 waterfalls, and 220 basins, fed by 875 meters of canals, channels and cascades, and all working entirely by the force of gravity, without pumps. It is now an Italian state museum, and is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Tivoli had been a popular summer residence since ancient Roman times due to its altitude, cooler temperatures and its proximity to the Villa Hadriana, the summer residence of the Emperor Hadrian I.

The Villa was commissioned by Cardinal Ippolito II d'Este (1509-1572), second son of Alfonso I d'Este, the Duke of Ferrara and grandson of Pope Alexander VI, along with Lucrezia Borgia.
