Rauma Market Square
In the 1800s, Rauma's Market Square was the vibrant heart of the town, even on non-market days. This aerial view shows groups of people gathered in the square, reflecting the social and communal spirit of the era. The square served as a central meeting place where townsfolk would catch up and exchange news, highlighting the tight-knit community. Flags flutter on rooftops and beyond the bustling square, the city stretches into the distance, featuring a mix of traditional wooden buildings and emerging infrastructure that signaled Rauma's growth and development during this period.
