TUOMIOKIRKKO - HELSINKI CATHEDRAL
The best known and most imposing church in the Finnish capital. From the top of its steps, one dominates the square and the port.
Built according to the plans of Carl Ludvig Engel, it is the head of the Senate Square. Magnificent church, it offers a pleasant view of the city at the top of the stairs. Today of Lutheran denomination, it was first consecrated to Saint Nicholas, patron saint of merchants and navigators. Like those in St. Isaac's Church in St. Petersburg, its four cardinal pediments are decorated with the twelve apostles cast in zinc. Its name, Tuomiokirkko "Great Church" dates back to 1959.
