  • Vyborg – the Medieval Town!
    We are glad to offer you the pre-congress tour to Vyborg: Vyborg – the medieval town! 30 August 2014, Saturday 08:00 Departure from St. Petersburg to Vyborg by bus. The total duration of the route is nearly 2 hours. Excursion during the route. Vyborg is the only medieval town in Russia. The history of Vyborg covers seven centuries. In transfer from Swedish “Vi” means sacred, and “borg” - a city, a fortress. The history of Vyborg is a history of storms and loud fights in which great tsars and kings, brave soldiers and the glorified commanders have been involved. For the long life the city was under the power of 5 different states: the Swedish kingdom, the Russian empire, Independent Finland, Soviet Union, and since 1992 it was a part of the Russian Federation. It is natural that it was reflected and in external shape of a city, in its architecture and the space organisation. Vyborg can't be regarded as a typical Russian town as it looks rather West-European. You can find a mixture of various architectural styles, evident influences of romanticism and renaissance, classicism and functional style. A real example of the functional style in architecture of the town is the unique library of Alvar Aalto, who was famous Finnish architect. For today the historical heritage of Vyborg is recognised by an independent cultural value, organically and by originally uniting monuments of the various countries and nationalities. 10:00 Arrival to Vyborg, bus city tour with English speaking guide. During the city tour you will see and visit the romantic old center with aging buildings, small and cozy parks and cobblestone streets, Vyborg's towers: towers of St.

  • Streets, Seals Or Seeds As Early Manifestations of Urban Life in Turku, Finland
    Streets, seals or seeds as early manifestations of urban life in Turku, Finland Liisa Seppänen In the 2000s, the studies concerning the early phases of urbanization in Finland have re-actualized after many decades. The studies have focused on Turku, which is the oldest town of the present-day Finland and has been a target for many excavations. The focus of this paper is in the beginnings of the urbanization of Turku with the questions when and why the town was founded. The questions are old and discussed in many studies since the early 20th century. In this article, these questions are reflected on the basis recent archaeo- logical findings and the circumstantial evidence from historical sources. I am presenting my interpretation about the course of events, which led to the establishment of Turku. The town was not founded on a virgin land, but it was preceded by human activities like farming and possibly gatherings of religious or commercial nature. The political circum- stances activated the planning of the town in the late 13th century, which were realized in the turn of the 13th and 14th century. It seems, that the urbanization process took several decades and probably it was not until the mid 14th century when Turku met all the bench- marks set for the medieval town. Tracing the earliest evidence red to a more appropriate place. The document is dated in Perugia on the The origins of Turku (fig. 1) have fas- 29th of January in 1229, but it does cinated Finnish historians and archa- not, however, reveal the location of eologists for more than a century.
