On the north side of the square stands the Town Hall (Kaupungintalo; by C. L. Engel, 1833), with a light blue facade. At the northeast corner of the square is the President's Palace (Presidentinlinna), and beyond it the Guard House. At the west end of the square, between the two boulevards of the Esplanade, is the Havis Amanda fountain (by V. Vallgren, 1908). Beyond this is the popular Esplanadikappeli restaurant, with a stage on which concerts are given in summer. A little way south, on the seaward side of the Eteläranta, is the picturesque old Market Hall (Kauppahalli; 1891).
