Teave
Kiired faktid: Massive red-brick silhouette sits along the water, its row of enormous industrial windows throwing warm light into a cavernous interior that often smells faintly of dust and oil. Local calendars fill up fast for free shows and exhibitions, with some open-air events drawing crowds that swell past 5,000 people on peak days.
Esiletõstmised: Each evening a crowd gathers on the wide concrete steps to watch the sunset turn the brickwork molten orange, cameras and phone screens reflecting the glow. A quirky weekly tradition has roughly 30 volunteer musicians setting up makeshift stages in the main hall, improvising everything from samba to jazz and inviting onlookers to join the final chorus.
