Ateneum Art Museum (Helsinki) Connoisseurs of world art have a lot to see in Finland, especially if their travel route takes them through the capital. Ateneum Art Museum, located in Helsinki near the railway station, now houses Finland's largest collection of art. The very name of the museum was formed from the name of the ancient Greek goddess - Athena, the patroness of all the arts and crafts.
The museum opened its doors for the first time in 1887. The basis of the museum collection in the year of opening were 18 canvases presented by Russian Emperor Nicholas II to the Association of Finnish Artists. The museum has two departments.

Church in the Rock (Helsinki) Temppeliaukio Rock Church is probably one of the most unusual sights in Finland and one of the most original churches in Europe. The church embodies the main feature of Finland - a combination of wildlife and modern technology: it blends in with the natural landscape and blends perfectly with the rocky surfaces.
Temppeliaukio Church was built in 1969. Its main feature is that the entire area of its interior is carved directly into the rock. The church has a small dome of glass on the surface, through which the sunlight enters the rooms.

On the Katajanokke Peninsula, high above the skyline of the Finnish capital, rises the largest Orthodox cathedral in Europe, built by order of Emperor Alexander II in honor of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Dormition Cathedral is an important religious landmark in Finland, whose history dates back to between 1862 and 1868.
The cathedral was built according to the project of Alexei Gornostayev, which was based on another church - the Church of the Ascension in the village of Kolomenskoye. The building was erected from red bricks left over from the Bomarsund Fortress destroyed in the Crimean War. The very shape of the temple symbolizes the Holy Spirit, and its 13 domes represent Jesus Christ and the 12 apostles. Construction of the temple was carried out at the expense of voluntary donations, and in 1868 the consecration of the cathedral.

Santa Claus Village (Lapland, Rovaniemi) According to legend, Santa Claus' home is in Lapland on Mount Korvatunturi. But since rumors about his place of habitation started to spread among people, Santa, not wishing to be unmasked, chose a place near Rovaniemi for meeting with people. That's how far beyond the Arctic Circle, among the sparkling snows and dense forests, Santa Claus' village appeared many years ago.
But the real appearance of a popular attraction in Finland has a very different story. In 1950, wife of U.S. President Eleanor Roosevelt visited the region. In honor of her visit was built a small wooden hut, which was presented as a temporary home of Santa Claus.

Turku Castle (Turku) At the mouth of the Joki River there is another important landmark in Finland - Castle Abo, or Turku. The value of this building is primarily due to its rich history - Turku Castle was built during the Middle Ages and was one of the largest buildings of those times.
The history of the castle dates back to 1280, when the Swedes decided to found a fort on the site of the future castle. Over time, the fortress has played the role of the administrative center of the Swedish power in Finland. Despite the impressiveness and reliability of the construction, the fortress was repeatedly attacked by the Danes and Novgorodians.
