description The article analysis the narrative history of three sites on the River Emajõgi, all of which are located downstream the town of Tartu. The Kantsi Tavern in Alevi village is located on the northern bank of the river, the Fortress Hill in Vana-Kastre is located on the southern riverbank, and the sinking site of Carolus, the flagship of the Swedish fleet, lies not far from the Kantsi Tavern. These are two former river fortresses, which had a similar function and narrative history (mostly concerning the underground tunnels and hidden treasures in cellars and the guardians of these treasures, but also historical war events). As the fortress hill of Vana-Kastre had no new function, it remained slightly off the beaten track. The fortress near the river mouth, however, was once reconstructed as a tavern, and will now be rebuilt to house the administrative centre of a nature protection area. The narrative history of the reconstructed place is more extensive and the texts are also more expressive. In the historical account of the river battle, the Kantsi Tavern has been an important landmark in locating the events of other stories. The stories thus share territorial and historical elements as well as the same story lines. To a greater or lesser extent, the texts mediate narrative history and may serve as evidence of several historical features. Narratives about these three sites also function as landmarks of the local identity and have been a part of the repertoire of people on either side of the River Emajõgi.
