The article discusses the changes in the urban structures of Estonia from small towns to heritage conservation areas during the 13th to 20th century. It notes the establishment of protection zones of old small towns to preserve its meaning and tradition, where several towns are included starting in 1966 such as the Old Town of Talinn and historical centres in Paide, Tartu, and Valga. It urges the need to increase the knowledge on the construction of small towns related to art and architecture.
