Linda

Linda is a monument created by the sculptor August Weizenberg. It was completed in 1920, and it stands on Linda Hill in Tallinn, Estonia. It is registered as cultural heritage. The bronze figural part of the monument depicts a well-known episode from the Estonian national epic Kalevipoeg, in which the grieving Linda, carrying a stone to Kalev's grave, has sat down to rest on the stone. The sculpture stands on a faceted granite plinth reminiscent of a tall cliff. The Linda monument has become a national symbol and a place where victims of deportation are commemorated in Tallinn. In front of it is a granite plaque with the words of the poet Marie Under: Ikka mõtlen neile, kes siit viidi ... Taeva poole karjub nende äng (I still think of those that were taken from here ... Their anguish screams to the sky). References
