The Kalamaja cemetery was once the city's oldest existing cemetery. It contained thousands of graves of ethnic Estonian and Swedish residents of Tallinn and stood for at least 400 years, from the 15th or 16th century to 1964 when it was completely flattened and destroyed by the Soviet occupation authorities. The former cemetery is now a public park "Kalamaja kalmistupark".
