Helsinki Cathedral is the iconic white Lutheran cathedral dominating Senate Square, a neoclassical masterpiece designed by Carl Ludvig Engel. Its striking green dome and white facade are symbols of the city. Inside, the cathedral is simple and serene, with altarpieces and statues of Lutheran reformers. Visitors can climb the steps for a panoramic view of the square and surrounding city. It remains an active church and a popular venue for state events and concerts.
