Impressive modernist church
We had to walk a loooong way to reach the Kallio Church, at least it felt that way. It stands on a hill in the heart of Helsinki. I had expected the city to be flat, but sometimes it reminded me of San Francisco. The church itself was impressive, especially for a lover of Modernism like me. It was built in 1912 and restored in 1986. The inside it's not exactly overwhelming, but every evening at 6:00 the bells in the tower play a melody composed by the great Sibelius.
