Jomala

Its standout attraction is the 13th-century St. Olaf's Church, one of the oldest stone churches in Finland, known for its medieval frescoes and wooden belfry. Nearby, the ruins of Bomarsund fortress recall the Crimean War, when British and French forces destroyed the Russian-built stronghold in 1854.
