Turku is a large city on the southwest coast of Finland. Turku, as a town, was founded most likely at the end of the 13th century, making it the oldest city in Finland. It quickly became the most important city in Finland, a status it retained for hundreds of years. After Finland became part of the Russian Empire (1809) the capital of the Grand Duchy of Finland was moved to Helsinki (1812).
Because of its long history, Turku has been the site of many important events and has extensively influenced Finnish history.
