Sillamäe is a town located in northeastern Estonia, on the coast of the Gulf of Finland. Historically, it gained prominence in the Soviet era as a closed city due to its strategic importance in the production of uranium oxide for the Soviet nuclear program. Today, Sillamäe is known for its diverse cultural heritage, influenced by both Estonian and Russian communities. The town features a mix of Stalinist architecture and modern developments, and it has been actively working on environmental restoration projects to address the legacy of its industrial past.
