Attractions and tourismThe medieval Turku Castle is one of the city's most popular attractions. The building was built at the mouth of the Aura River. Previously, the building served as a camp fortification and the residence of the viceroy of the King of Switzerland, which in 1280 was reborn into a castle. In 1941, the castle was destroyed by bombing. In 1961, the restoration of the castle was completed, after which the building was transformed and today it serves as a museum. There are expositions dedicated to the Bronze, Stone and Iron Ages; halls of different eras, medieval sculptures, as well as a collection of 17-19th century costumes. There is a souvenir shop on the territory of the castle, and theater evenings are often held. The city's Cathedral is the country's national sanctuary and one of the most valuable architectural monuments of the Middle Ages. In the choir of the temple, there is a museum of the cathedral, which displays valuable wooden sculptures, fabrics and church dishes. Turku Fortress from the very beginning of the 19th century was the administrative center and the main fortress of Finland. Today the fortress is divided into two architectural complexes - the fortress and the utility part, which houses the historical museum of the city.
