Lighthouse · 1835
Tallinn rear lighthouse
German: Reval
High on the Lasnamäe plateau between Peterburi road and Pae street stands Tallinn's rear range light, known as the Red Lighthouse. It began in 1835 as a timber lattice tower and was replaced by the present stone tower in 1896, black at the top and white below. The tower is 40 metres tall and stands on ground already about 40 metres above the sea, so its light shines from roughly 80 metres up. Paired with the White Lighthouse 1.1 km to the north, it marks the line into Tallinn harbour. In 1983 the Soviet post office put it on a stamp.

Eesti keeles
Lasnamäe lavamaal Peterburi tee ja Pae tänava vahel seisab Tallinna sihi ülemine tuletorn ehk Punane majakas. See sai alguse 1835. aastal puidust sõrestiktornina, mille asemele ehitati 1896. aastal praegune kivitorn – ülaosa must, alaosa valge. Torn on 40 meetrit kõrge ja seisab umbes 40 meetrit merepinnast kõrgemal, nii et tuli paistab ligikaudu 80 meetri kõrguselt. Koos 1,1 km põhja pool asuva Valge majakaga näitab see teed Tallinna sadamasse. 1983. aastal andis NSV Liit sellega välja postmargi.
