Liiva Cemetery

Liiva cemetery near Lake Ülemiste is one of Tallinn's largest at 65 hectares. It opened in 1935, together with its chapel by the architect Herbert Johanson, who is buried here himself; the very first burial was the politician Hans Martinson. Among the many who followed are the writer Eduard Alver, the poet Marie Heiberg, the women's rights activist Marie Reisik and the actor Aarne Üksküla.
