Lasnamäe, Residential district in eastern Tallinn, Estonia
The limestone plateau houses numerous five to sixteen-story panel apartment blocks built between 1970 and 1990, accommodating 119,000 residents in eastern Tallinn.
The district's development started with medieval limestone quarries, later transforming into an industrial zone with the establishment of the Dvigatel factory in the late 1800s.
The population distribution reflects Estonia's diversity, with 57.5 percent Russian and 28.3 percent Estonian residents sharing the neighborhood's facilities and services.
The Laagna Road serves as the main transportation artery through the district, connecting the city center to the Tallinn-Narva highway via a channel-like structure.
The district contains the only preserved section of Catherine's Staircase, where Peter the Great observed maritime activities from the limestone cliffs.
