Kalamaja Cemetery
A cemetery used by generations in Kalamaja was turned into a park during the Soviet era, and its grave markers disappeared.
Kalamaja Cemetery served the town for generations. During the Soviet period its visible form was removed and the ground made into a park, but that did not erase its history of burial. Visitors now see trees and paths; the memory of the place runs deeper. The loss of grave markers changed how families and communities could find and remember their dead. The quiet of this park has a particular history.
