Saint Catherine's Monastery
St Catherine's Dominican friary, between Vene and Müürivahe streets in Tallinn's Old Town, existed by 1246 and is one of the city's oldest buildings. The friars chose the site with care, close to crowds they could preach to and to their own business interests: they traded in fish and ran a brewery producing four kinds of beer, and the friary was known for its learning. In 1524, during the Reformation, it was wrecked. Fragments survive, partly built into the Catholic cathedral of St Peter and St Paul, and a finely carved portal can be seen from St Catherine's Passage.

Tallinna vanalinnas Vene ja Müürivahe tänava vahel asunud dominiiklaste Katariina klooster oli olemas juba 1246. aastal ja on üks linna vanimaid ehitisi. Mungad valisid koha hoolega – lähedal oli rahvast, kellele jutlustada, ja sobis see ka nende äriks: nad kauplesid kalaga ning pidasid õllepruulikoda, kus valmistati nelja sorti õlut, ja klooster oli tuntud õpetatuse poolest. 1524. aastal reformatsiooni ajal klooster rüüstati. Alles on fragmendid, osalt ehitatud Peeter-Pauli katoliku katedraali sisse, ning Katariina käigult on näha peenelt raiutud portaal.
