Astangu ammunition depot, Architectural monument and ammunition dump in Astangu, Tallinn, Estonia.
The limestone tunnels of Astangu ammunition depot extend beneath the surface, featuring seven-meter-high and nine-meter-wide U-shaped passages with parallel rail lines.
Construction of the Astangu tunnels started in 1912 as part of Peter the Great's naval fortress project, marked by Emperor Nicholas II laying the cornerstone.
The site received official architectural monument status in 1999, joining Estonia's National Registry of Cultural Monuments under registration number 8721.
Recent tunnel collapses near the limestone bank have prompted authorities to place warning tapes and implement safety measures for visitors in the area.
From an initial plan of 39 tunnels designed for ammunition storage and naval defense, only six structures were completed due to funding limitations.
