Lindaberg
The Lindaberg ( Estonian Lindamägi ) is a hill designed as a park in the Estonian capital Tallinn ( German Reval ).
It is located on the southern flank of Reval Toompea south of Falckensteg (Estonian: Falgi tee ) in the old town of Reval.
At the place of the park there was a Swedish bastion of the Reval city fortifications . After it lost its military importance, it was converted into a park in 1862. In 1920, the sculpture Linda , created by August Weizenberg , from which the park takes its name, was installed in the park. In 1959 the park was placed under nature protection. A special feature of the park are seven linden trees , which have been standing around the beginning of the 19th century and are arranged in a circle. 26 different tree species grow in the park (as of 2007).
The park is a traditional memorial for the victims of Soviet rule. Already in the time of the Soviet Union, the memorial to the grieving Linda was considered an unofficial memorial for Stalinist deportations and so-called purges.
