We went to visit the Turku cathedral, who considered to be the most important religious building in Finland. The cathedral built in the last 13th century out of wood. It is an Evangelical Lutheran Church of Finland where lies the seat of the Catholic bishop of Turku.
We visited the cathedral at sunset. We asked the man of the front desk a question, he is very welcoming. With respect to the cathedral, there is a wide aisle with bibles the disposal of persons for the mass. At the end of the aisle, there is a place with chairs for the musicians, and behind the chairs, on the wall, paintings representative passages of the bible, such as “the last meal”. It are a very beautiful paints some of which look like famous painting, such as La Cène of Léonard de Vinci.
Besides, when we turn around, we can see the main organ above aisle chairs.
I think that ideal time for visiting the cathedral it is the Christmas season because it is central to Finland’s annual Christmas celebrations. However the cathedral visit just as well the others days and stay one thing to do when one comes in Turku.
I’m sure, I will return to see the cathedral because it is very amazing and I strongly advise it.
