Kyttälä
Kyttälä is a district in Tampere, Finland. It was born in the late 1870s as a working-class neighborhood to the eastern outskirts of the town. As Tampere soon expanded, Kyttälä is now a part of the city center between the Tammerkoski river and the railway. Population of Kyttälä is 3,348 (31 December 2014). Aleksanterinkatu is one of Kyttälä's main streets. The direct connection to the Liisankallio district and from there to Teiskontie and Sammonkatu streets runs along Itsenäisyydenkatu and connection to the Jussinkylä district runs along Tuomiokirkonkatu.

Tampere Railway Station
Tampere Central Station is a functionalist building in Tampere, Finland, designed by Eero Seppälä and Otto Flodin, completed in 1936. The station is one of the most important railway stations in Finland. In 2015, the Tampere Central Station was the second busiest railway station in Finland in terms of numbers of passengers, after the Helsinki Central Station. The 36-metre clock tower was later added because the Finnish railway bureau required it (its total height from ground level is about 50 metres). The city's main street Hämeenkatu begins at the railway station, continuing over the Hämeensilta bridge to its western end at the Aleksanteri Church. The Itsenäisyydenkatu (originally called Puolimatkankatu) street begins at the Tammela side of the station, continuing to the Kaleva Church.Iltanen, Jussi: ''Radan varrella: Suomen rautatieliikennepaikat'' (2nd edition), pp. 79-81.

Tuomiokirkonkatu
Tuomiokirkonkatu (literally "Cathedral Street") is a north–south street in the center of Tampere, Finland, which runs through the districts of Jussinkylä and Kyttälä. The street is about a kilometer long. In the north it ends at Lapintie, in the south Vuolteenkatu. In Kyttälä, part of Tuomiokirkonkatu has been turned into a pedestrian street. In the future, the pedestrian section will be expanded so that it will eventually extend south from Kyttälänkatu to Suvantokatu and the Sori Square (''Sorin aukio''). The street got its current name in 1936, when the city underwent a major street name reform. Tuomiokirkonkatu refers to the Tampere Cathedral, which is located along the street. The previous name ''Viinikankatu'' was in the town plan in 1886–1936. The old name was abandoned because it was considered misleading; after the town plan changes, the street no longer led to the Viinikka district. Tuomiokirkonkatu has several important sites for cultural historically arch ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aleksanterinkatu (Tampere)
Aleksanterinkatu ("Alexander Street") is a street in the Kyttälä district, in the centre of Tampere, Finland. It is a north–south street, which is one of the cross streets of Hämeenkatu, Tampere's main street. In the south, it intersects the Hatanpää highway at Sori Square and ends in the north at Erkkilänaukee in Jussinkylä, near Tampere Cathedral. Like most streets in Kyttälä, Aleksanterinkatu was named in 1877, when the area was annexed to the city of Tampere and a town plan was approved. However, the town plan was not put into practice until the 1890s, when the 15-year lease granted to the old inhabitants of the area expired. The name Aleksanterinkatu presumably refers to Tsar Alexander II of Russia, who had confirmed Tampere's free city rights unchanged for a new 50-year period in 1855.Louhivaara 1999, p. 80–81. Aleksanterinkatu is also the name of the main street in many other Finnish cities, e.g.: Helsinki, Lahti, Oulu, Porvoo and Loviisa. Sources * (in ...
