[edit] Kalamaja cemetery

Kalamaja was the location of the oldest cemetery in Tallinn, known as Kalamaja cemetery (in Estonian: Kalamaja kalmistu; in German: Fischermay Kirchhof) which was founded in the 15th or 16th century.^[2] The cemetery was flattened in 1964^[2], during the second occupation of the Baltic states, by Russian Soviet authorities who used the area of Kalamaja as a base for the Soviet Armed Forces^[3].
