A little gloomy on the outside, light and spacious inside - that's what it is, Kallio Church, the decoration of the eponymous district of Helsinki. Built in 1912 in the "Finnish Art Nouveau" style, the church from afar looks like the building of the Helsinki railway station. Interestingly, the music for its bells was composed by Jean Sibelius. The church has two organs, and she herself can fit more than a thousand people under her vaults. Most of its parishioners were urban workers, so several bas-reliefs inside the church depict ordinary people in the clothes of the new time who came to Christ.→
