Maarjamäe, Residential subdistrict in Pirita, Estonia.
Located between Lasnamäe plateau and Tallinn Bay, Maarjamäe extends over 155 hectares with a population density of 1,600 inhabitants per square kilometer.
The area's name changed from Ristimäe to Suhkrumäe after an 1811 sugar factory construction, and finally to Maarjamäe in 1873 after Count Orlov-Davydov's relative Maria.
The Maarjamäe Memorial complex features a 35-metre central obelisk, dolomite-lined walls, and grass-covered slopes that commemorate soldiers from different historical periods.
Multiple bus lines connect Maarjamäe to central Tallinn, while cycling paths and walking trails provide alternative transportation options throughout the district.
The former sugar factory transformed into a castle in 1874, designed by Robert Gödicke, now houses both the Estonian History Museum and Film Museum.
