    Church of the Holy Cross

    North of the kauppatori is the bold stone Church of the Holy Cross, a 15th-century Franciscan monastery church set by the Raumanjoki. It has early-16th-century frescoes and several beautiful painted panels, a fine Prussian triptych from the 15th century and an ornate pulpit. On the north wall is Finland’s oldest votive painting, an image of Margareta, a former mayor’s daughter.
