Helsinki - Mannerheimintie

From the end of Helsinki's Esplanade, Mannerheimintie runs northwest. On the right, beyond Aleksanterinkatu, is the Old Student House (built 1870; rebuilt after destruction by fire in 1978), with two figures from the "Kalevala", Väinämöinen and Ilmarinen. Beyond this is the New Student House (1911); then, beyond Kaivokatu, on right, the Head Post Office (1940), in front of which is an equestrian statue of Marshal Mannerheim (by A. Tukiainen, 1960).
