In Sibulaküla the seat of the Communist Party of Estonia (today the main building of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Estonia) and the Hotel Olümpia were built . The reason for building the hotel were the Olympic sailing competitions at the 1980 Summer Games , which were held in Tallinn.
