| In the middle of the Market Square is Helsinkiââ¬â¢s oldest public monument, the Tsarinaââ¬â¢s Stone. It is an obelisk of red granite topped by a globe and a double-headed eagle. This was the emblem used by the Tsars of Russia. The eagleââ¬â¢s breastplate shows a lion, the coat of arms of Finland. The monument was erected in 1835 in honour of the visit by Tsar Nikolai I and the Tsarina Alexandra, who stepped ashore here. |
