SUOMENLINNA JA LONNA
Suomenlinna is a historic sea fortress and a Unesco world heritage site. The construction of the fortress began in 1748. The purpose of Suomenlinna was to protect the Eastern border and the coast in the wars against Russia. As a result of the Finnish Civil War, the fortress was turned into a prisoner of war camp in 1918. In 1918, the fortress was taken over by the Defense Forces and renamed Suomenlinna.
Lonna is small island between Kauppatori and Suomenlinna. Lonna is the sister island of Suomenlinna, where ships were once immune to sea mines. In 2014, the island was opened to the public.
VALLISAARI
Vallisaari is an island between Suomenlinna and Santahamina. It is separated from Suomenlinna by the Kustaanmiekka strait. The island is connected to the neighboring Kuninkaansaari. Vallisaari has beautiful nature and various species such as bats and butterflies. The island offers good services – cafes, accommodation, guided tours about Vallisaari´s history.
