Senate square

Senaatintori, Senatstorget
Finland, Helsinki
Senate Square is a square in the central part of the city of Helsinki in the Kruununhaka district, the "visiting card" of the city.

Broken in the style of late classicism after the entry of Finland into the Russian Empire. On it, in 1830-1852, the architect Karl Ludwig Engel erected the monumental St. Nicholas Cathedral. In front of the cathedral is a monument to Alexander II. It was installed in 1894 in memory of the restoration of Finnish parliamentarism by Emperor Alexander II.

Senate Square is the central square of Helsinki, with all the ensuing consequences: tourists, souvenirs and a Christmas market before the New Year holidays. In summer, when the weather is sunny, you can watch the citizens and guests of the Finnish capital sunbathe right on the steps of the Cathedral. Since the Senate Square is the "calling card" of the city, every self-respecting tourist visiting Helsinki is simply obliged to take a picture against the backdrop of the snow-white Cathedral of St. Nicholas : ).
