2010.9.24. Estonia - Tallinn - European Capital of Cculture 2011

FDC from Estonia. The program of European Capitals of Culture (until 1998 European Cities of Culture) was conceived in 1983 by then Greek Minister of Culture Melina Mercouri, because she felt that cities paid less attention to culture than to politics and economics, and Athens became the first European City of Culture in 1985. Thank you, Pirjo.
