Patarei Sea Fortress and former prison
As a regular visitor to Tallinn since 2015 , I came across this place ,possibly 2017 I think, I think it was closed a short time later , I wandered around the area , “” Off the beaten Tourist Track “ as it were and found it , I walked in , paid a lady a couple of Euros and I have to say in its “untidy state” , it was a scary place . At one point in the buildings ,looking through the Cell windows , with a view across to Finland , I thought that the view would only make it worse for prisoners , as they looked across to what was Freedom , but NEVER for them . The hairs on the back of my neck stood up at the thought . I trust that after the Coronavirus is over that I can revisit Patarei once again to compare “before and after”. Another place that I had hoped to visit inside was Linnahall close by , but closed to the public , a very different design of Concert Hall , but one that in my opinion should be reopened and kept as close to the original interior design as possible . And used as before for concerts .
