Väike-Paljassaare tähtfort

The Stellar Fort of Little Paljassaar is a pre-shifted fortification (stellarfort) built by the authorities of the Russian Empire near Tallinn in 1726-1727 aimed primarily at protecting the Tallinn war port and its western entrance. A similar structure had already been planned by the Swedish authorities in the first third of the 17th century, but due to the high cost these plans were not carried out and the times of the insurance works of the end of the Swedish time were mainly focused on the construction of the earth resistance zone surrounding the city of Tallinn.
