Market Day in Pori
A busy market day in front of the old Town Hall in Pori, Finland. A great fire swept through Pori in 1852, leaving many residents homeless and more than 75 percent of the city destroyed. While the main Town Hall building was saved (pictured here), the clock tower was destroyed. It was rebuilt in 1891.
