Suomenlinna (Viapori) is a naval fortress on a group of islands at the entrance of Helsinki's harbour. The fortress is an especially interesting example ofvEuropean military architecture. The buildings date mainly from the end of 18thvcentury, the Swedish era, and 19th century Russian era. At the end of Swedish rule the fortress was being compared with the maritime fortifications at Gibraltar. Today Suomenlinna is a UNESCO's World Heritage site.
