Pori National Urban Park

The Pori National Urban Park, located in the town of Pori, Finland, was established in May 2002 and is part of the NUP network. NUPs (National Urban Parks) are integrated urban spaces that span across several areas. Pori NUP is recognised as being of national importance with a valuable local natural and cultural environment. The most prominent monuments are the industrial buildings on the north bank of the Kokemäenjoki, the Neo-gothic Central church of Pori, and the Junnelius palace, a neo-Renaissance building which is currently used as the City Hall. The National Urban Park also contains the Pori bridge; the Old Courthouse; "stone Pori", a collection of stone buildings; the Juselius Mausoleum, and Kirjurinluoto island, where the Pori Jazz Festival takes place.
