The waterfront of the old town is absolutely stunning as it makes its way down to the Baltic with some incredible churches and old fortress buildings on the skyline - especially on a calm, clear, bright summer's dayTowards the old town is a pretty monsterous statue which I imagine is a memorial to the Fishermen and those involved with the sea in the city - it is outside the Museum of Occupation but I have not, as yet, been able to discover what it is
There is another one of Stalin's gifts in the city, like the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw and half of the Moscow skyline - designed by Lev Rudnev who also helped with the development of much of post-WW1 and WWII Russia
