Lordi's Square is the heart of Rovaniemi, a public space that buzzes with activity year-round. Named after the 2006 Eurovision-winning band Lordi, the square features a statue of the band's monster mascot, Mr. Lordi. In summer, it hosts outdoor markets and festivals; in winter, it transforms into a Christmas market with ice sculptures. Surrounded by shops, cafes, and the Rovaniemi Church, it's a gathering spot for locals and tourists alike. The square's name and statue make it a quirky photo stop.

- Snap a photo with the bronze statue of Mr. Lordi, the band's monster mascot.

- Catch a live concert or event during summer festivals like the Rovaniemi Music Festival.
