War of Independence Victory Column is 23.5-metre high made from 143 glass panels and crowned with the Cross of Liberty. It was designed by Rainer Sternfeld, Andri Laidre, Kadri Kiho and Anto Savi. The monument is dedicated to all those who have fought for the freedom and independence of Estonia. The idea for a monument commemorating the war had already been conceived to Freedom Square in Tallinn before World War II, but never came to fruition. The current monument was inaugurated in the first minutes of 23 June 2009.
