    Masterpieces of Soviet Architecture

    Architecture from the second half of the twentieth century has shaped the city centre of Tallinn and the Pirita district significantly. Many mighty buildings in Pirita were constructed for the1980 Moscow Olympics, during which the sailing regatta took place in Tallinn.
