Church of the Holy Cross
North of the kauppatori is the attractive stone Church of the Holy Cross, a 15th-century Franciscan monastery church set by the slim Raumanjoki. It has early-16th-century frescoes around a stained-glass window depicting the Transformation, and several beautiful painted panels, a fine Prussian triptych from the 15th century and an ornate pulpit.
