Tartu Statue of Liberty - "Kalev's son", War memorial in Tartu, Estonia.
The bronze statue depicts Kalevipoeg, the main character from Estonia's national epic, holding a sword while standing on a granite base in central Tartu.
Sculptor Amandus Adamson created this memorial in 1920 to honor Estonians who fought for independence during World War I and subsequent conflicts.
The memorial incorporates elements from Estonian folklore through its representation of Kalevipoeg, connecting national mythology with historical struggles for freedom.
The memorial site includes paved pathways and ramps that make it completely accessible for visitors using wheelchairs or with limited mobility.
During annual Independence Day celebrations, citizens gather at this memorial to place wreaths and participate in ceremonies marking Estonia's sovereignty.
