Summer 2011 update 6/16: Suomenlinna







One of Helsinki's top attractions is a maritime fortress from the 18th century. It's included on the UNESCO World Heritage list and a great place to visit especially on summer time.

I had thoughts initially to label this update as "The Ehrensvärd designs, part 1" as the fortress' construction was supervised by Swedish military architect Augustin Ehrensvärd, and there is actually a second place designed by him that we visited this summer..
