The Lutheran Helsinki Cathedral on the left is part of the stately public plaza, Senate Square.  The central monument is of Alexander II, the tzar of Russia 1855-1881.  The monument was built in 1894 to commemorate the establishment of Finland's autonomy within the Russian Empire. Finland achieved independence from Russia in 1917.
