Memorialinis vieta

This monument is situated in the north corner of St Paul's Cemetery in Tartu.

Designed by sculptor Aleksander Eller and city architect Arnold Matteus, it depicts two soldiers fashioned by Amandus Adamson and was unveiled on 11 November 1934. During the Soviet occupation the sculptures and dates were removed from the monument. On 10 October 2015 a War of Independence memorial was unveiled in the same location, comprising the sculpture ‘Kalev and Linda’ by Mati Karmin and a ceremonial square designed by Mati Karmin and Tiit Trummal with pathways, park benches and directional lights. The monument marks the mass grave of 254 soldiers who died in the War of Independence.
