Today is a true day of celebration, as April 18th is observed as both International Day for Monuments and Sites and Central Finland Day. 💙🌍 That means it’s double the reason to celebrate here in our region!
The Jyväskylä Region is home to two unique UNESCO World Heritage Sites 👉 the Old Church of Petäjävesi, a beautiful example of Nordic wooden architecture, and the Oravivuori triangulation point, part of the Struve Geodetic Arc – a remarkable legacy of science and technology.
🎈 Central Finland Day, on the other hand, has been celebrated on April 18th since 1984, as the term 'Central Finland' was reportedly mentioned in a newspaper on April 18th, 1856, marking its first known historical reference.
