Russalka is a sculpture, created by Estonian sculptor Amandus Adamson, in 1902. The bronze and granite monument stands as a memorial to the crew of a Russian battleship "Russalka", which sank in Gulf of Finland in 1893.
Sculpture depicts an angel, bearing an Eastern Orthodox cross pointing towards the sea, in assumed direction of the shipwreck. During Soviet occupation, the cross was removed; it has since been restored.
