Reaali Poiss, War memorial and historic site in Tallinn, Estonia.
Reaali Poiss is a war memorial in Tallinn featuring a statue of a young soldier. The monument includes inscriptions in multiple languages and stands at a central location that is easy to access on foot.
Sculptor Amandus Adamson created this memorial, which was dedicated in 1924. The monument was built when Estonia was establishing itself as an independent nation following World War I.
The name comes from the adjacent Reaalkool school that once operated in this area. Today the site draws visitors during memorial ceremonies and serves as a gathering place for those honoring military sacrifice.
The memorial is easy to locate and features informative plaques in several languages. Visitors can stop by at any time to read the inscriptions and learn about those being remembered.
The name Reaali Poiss translates to The Real Boy in Estonian. This personal title gives the memorial a human quality that distinguishes it from more formal monument names.
