Russian czar started to build defensive structure on the Gulf of Finland at Tallinn-Porkala line in 1912. Those coastal batteries and dry-land castles were called Marine fortress of Emperor Peter the Great. The aim of these works was to protect Petersburg from the boats of enemies. Concrete-dugouts and below-ground tunnels were established around Tallinn in 1912-1917.
It is planned to tidy up the defensive structure positions and roads that connects them, including historical dike-ways; to evaluate constructional conditions and to identify conditions of heritage protection of Suurupi, Viti, Humala and Kiia (Vääna-Posti). |
