The centuries of the Finnish people can be seen in the 700-year-long history of the Cathedral. With the help of pictures and stories, "The Cathedral Speaks" pages record the country's history and local life witnessed by the Cathedral.
Turku Cathedral is regarded as Finland’s most valuable monument of architectural history. The construction took place in stages up to the first decades of the 19th century. The greatest changes in appearance happened in the 15th and 16th centuries. Most of the present interior dates back to the restoration after the Great Fire of Turku (1827).
