The Helsinki Cathedral, built in the classicist style, rises above the Senate Square on a hill that can be reached by granite stairs. It radiates majestic shine in the sunlight.

Helsinki Cathedral is a very impressive evangelical church and the cathedral of the Lutheran diocese of Helsinki. It was built on Senate Square in the immediate center of Helsinki and is the city's most famous landmark. A very magical atmosphere is created during the blue hour.

Interesting are the statues of Martin Luther and Philipp Melanchton, both driving forces of the Reformation.
