Castle Hill in Porvoo, Finland - 17th April 2010

By: Delenna

We made a small trip to Castle Hill! I've seen this hill from further away (see three posts back - 7th April, second photo).  In the 14th century here stood a wooden fortress. Now you can only see the hill and the castle moats. My host said this's a good place to play Robin Hood!

Also a famous artist (Albert Edelfelt) has painted this view. He painted other views from Porvoo as well - and tons of not-at-all-Porvoo-related paintings. After all, he spent years in Paris.

The view where you can see all the bridges from here, and the Old Town is my host's favorite spot. She has taken a photo here which she made into postcards! Very cool!
