Kadriorg is a subdistrict in the district
of Kesklinn, Tallinn, the capital of Estonia. It has a population
of 4,561. Kadriorg means "Catherine's Valley" in
Estonian, this derives from the Catherinethal, a Baroque palace
of Catherine I of Russia. It is one of the wealthiest regions in
Estonia. Kadriorg is known for the Kadriorg palace and the
surrounding park, commissioned by the Russian Tsar Peter the
Great. Nowadays the park is a location of several museums
including the Kadriorg art Museum, KUMU, Mikkel, Peter the Great
and Eduard Vilde museums. Nearby is the Russalka Memorial which
commemorates the loss of a Russian warship in 1893. The official
Presidential Palace of the President of Estonia is situated next
