Turku Cathedral is the main church of Finnish Lutheranism and the most famous medieval cathedral in Finland.

Because I came to this city on a Turku-Stockholm cruise, I only visited Turku Cathedral. The cathedral located on the Aura River is tall and simple, impressive, and the surrounding scenery is beautiful.
