The Russalka Memorial
The Russalka Memorial was built in 1902 by Amandus Adamson in memorial to those who lost their lives at the Gulf of Finland on the Russian navy vessel called Russalka.
The 16-metre sculpture was placed by the sea where the promenade from Kadriorg Palace comes down to meet the Bay of Tallinn. The monument depicts a bronze angel on a granite pillar pointing an Orthodox cross in the assumed direction of the sunken ship.
Interesting fact: The area surrounding the monument is paved with granite in a way that it depicts a compass.

Interesting monument I didn't intend to visit but stumbled across en route from Kadriorg to Song festival grounds. Very interesting and worth a stop.
