Finland - Old Rauma

"Situated on the Gulf of Botnia, Rauma is one of the oldest harbours in Finland. Built around a Franciscan monastery, where the mid-15th-century Holy Cross Church still stands, it is an outstanding example of an old Nordic city constructed in wood. Although ravaged by fire in the late 17th century, it has preserved its ancient vernacular architectural heritage."

Old Rauma. Nice stamps. Thanks to Evele of Finland who wrote in both English and Finnish to describe about Rauma.
