Did You Know?
Turku was Finland's capital until 1812, when Russia moved it to Helsinki to reduce Swedish influence. The 1827 fire, which destroyed about three quarters of the city, settled the matter permanently.
The clock: Turku keeps UTC+2 and declares Christmas Peace from its Old Great Square at noon on 24 December — a tradition running since the 1320s and broadcast nationally.
