Patarei fortress in Tallinn, part of European architectural heritage, is a Classical defensive structure that has retained its stylistic purity. This is a memorial to the victims of communism and fascism, as well as a meaningful symbol of resistance on the part of martyrs of the Republic of Estonia. The construction of Patarei sea fortress started under the orders of Nicholas I in 1828. After completion, it began operating as an artillery battery. The premises covering 4 hectares have had different functions – barracks and a prison. Patarei belongs to the Republic of Estonia. Currently, discussions on developing the complex are under way, and the entrance to the fortress is closed. Beeta promenade remains open; you can take walk along the promenade and look at the exterior of the prison on your own.

Old and famous prison. You can walk outside and sometimes they do lead groups there. Don't go there when it's dark :D Daytime the walking beside the sea directly is nice thing to do! I do it often :) They say the aura is there very bad. Inside yes it is. Outside it is iconic and if you think how old it is, it's a big history.
