Former KGB headquarters
KGB Prison Cells
Why locals love it
In the heart of the Old Town sits the former house of horrors: the KGB headquarters. In the basement, suspected enemies of the state were imprisoned and interrogated before being shot or sent to labour camps in Siberia. The bricked-up basement windows were intended to mute the sounds of the interrogations and torturing.

Why you should visit it
These prison cells are a crucial part to understanding Estonia's tortured past. The building has long been a symbol of the former Soviet oppression in Estonia. For thousands of Estonians, the course of suffering began from this place. The cells were only recently opened for visitors after being inaccessible for years.
