The Capital Of Finland – Helsinki– quiet and serene as the autumn sea. Wonderful architecture, stunning cultural and historical sites and wonderful climate of this city are highly valued by travelers. My walk in the Finnish capital, it is recommended to start from the Senate square, which became a real highlight and the heart of Helsinki. Here are the important cultural and social events in the life of the city. Near the square stands the Cathedral of St. Nicholas, which became the main cult object. Its white facades are decorated along the perimeter with columns and sculptures of saints. In addition to the traditional interior, the temple also has a basement, which is a tomb, a place of exhibitions and concerts. Another extraordinarily beautiful temple structure – the Uspensky Cathedral was the largest Orthodox Shrine in the entire North-West of the European continent. Despite the fact that after the Declaration of independence
Finlandit took relatively few years, and this state is considered to be quite young, in its capital city miraculously preserved many ancient monuments. For example – sea strengthening of Suomenlinna, built in the XVIII century, during the reign of these lands Swedish rulers. Its intended purpose the fortress had a fairly long time. In our days, among the massive stone walls is located the main museums of the city. One of the most popular places in Helsinki is the so-called Church in the rock appeared in the middle of the last century on a place of hit of a shell in the rock. Above the funnel was a round dome. The whole design has received a very colorful, slightly ascetic look. Inside the Church hosts concerts of organ music and the Symphony orchestra. For those who arrived in Helsinki with children, will certainly be a memorable visit to the local zoo or the old amusement Park Linnanmaki.
