Military remains
Coast Defence Battery No. 2
In Suurupi village on the Harku coast lie the remains of Coastal Battery No. 2 of Peter the Great's Naval Fortress. Instead of the six 130-mm guns first planned, it was armed in 1915 with 9.2-inch (234-mm) guns made by the American firm Bethlehem Steel, in four gun blocks, with two searchlights to find targets at night and a branch of the fortress railway. Blocks I and II are ruins; block III with its command centre survives in fair shape, and a house was later built on top of block IV, whose shelter now houses a maritime communications centre. Independent Estonia used it as Battery No. 6.

Harku valla Suurupi külas on Peeter Suure merekindluse rannakaitsepatarei nr 2 jäänused. Algselt kavandatud kuue 130 mm kahuri asemel sai patarei 1915. aastal Ameerika firma Bethlehem Steel 9,2-tollised (234 mm) kahurid neljas suurtükiplokis, kaks helgiheitjat sihtmärkide leidmiseks ja kindlusraudtee haru. I ja II plokist on alles vaid varemed, III plokk koos komandokeskusega on säilinud rahuldavalt ning IV ploki peale ehitati hiljem silikaattellistest maja, mille varjendis on nüüd Eesti mereside keskus. Eesti Vabariigi ajal oli see rannapatarei nr 6.
