About this event
Matti Lipponen traces the people and places around Vartiokylänlahti bay across the centuries: two medieval villages that grew into the Puotila and Rastila manors, and a hill fort that once watched over a vanished sea strait. Ninety minutes of local history with a look at what is planned for the shoreline next.
Why we picked it
Local history done properly and free, by the city's adult education institute, and a good companion piece for anyone walking the eastern Helsinki coastline.
