KGB prison cells
Visit the former Soviet detention cells on Pagari Street for a difficult, direct encounter with occupation-era repression. The confined rooms call for a reflective visit rather than a casual stop.
The former Pagari Street detention cells make Soviet-era repression tangible through two corridors and six small rooms, including solitary confinement. Moving through these confined spaces makes the conditions of detention clear and gives a difficult, physical immediacy to a chapter of Tallinn’s twentieth-century history.
