The military port and Sitsi sluts - exciting corners between Kalamaja and Kopli!

Every Estonian is familiar with Kalamaja and Kopli, but nestled between them is the subdistrict of Karjamaa, which many aren't even aware of. There's a reason for this, as it has historically been a partially military area. This is where the grandiose Peter the Great's Naval Fortress began to rise during the Tsarist era, and its barracks were later turned into Estonia's own military factory, Arsenal. We'll investigate how much of this mega-project was completed, what was left unbuilt, and how much remains today. The neighborhood of Sitsi is also on the edge of Karjamaa. This is where the Baltic Manufactory was built, which could be considered Kopli's oldest major industrial site. During the Tsarist era, the factory's female workers were mockingly called the Sitsi sl*ts. Why? Find out on the tour! In passing, we'll also talk about the highly controversial needle exchange point in Põhja-Tallinn, which is located in this very neighborhood!
