In the old city

The Soviet Statue Graveyard
The Soviet Statue Graveyard contains a collection of discarded statues, such as those of Joseph Stalin, Vladimir Lenin and Mikhail Kalinin. After the Soviets left Tallinn, the remains were dumped here and ignored. It’s a surreal place to visit.
At Saint Mary Cathedral
The Epitaphs of the cathedral of Saint Mary is extremely unique for its coats-of-arms epitaphs hang on the walls of the church instead of more traditional artwork or decoration. This was initially used as headstones for people of importance, such as nobles and knights.
