16. Municipio de Valjala en Saaremaa
Iglesia de Valjala

Valjala es un municipio en el condado de Saare (isla de Saaremaa) al oeste de Estonia.

En 1227, durante las cruzadas bálticas los hermanos livonios de la espada, la ciudad de Riga y su obispo organizaron ataques simultáneos a Saaremaa. Tras la rendición de dos de sus fortalezas, Muhu y Valjala, los osilianos (los vikingos estonios de Saaremaa) aceptaron el Cristianismo.[1]

La iglesia de Valjala es el mayor atractivo histórico de la zona cuyo origen se remonta al siglo XIII y combina estilo románico y algunos esbozos de arquitectura gótica.[2]
