Pargas

Tucked along the shores of the Archipelago Sea in southwest Finland, Pargas is a place whose character is shaped by the islands, ferries and maritime routes surrounding it. The town is a central stop on the Archipelago Trail, a road-and-ferry route linking communities across this intricate coastal world. Limestone has been extracted here for centuries, and the vast Pargas limestone quarry remains a defining feature of the local economy and terrain. Medieval Pargas Church adds a historic landmark to the centre. Officially bilingual, Pargas reflects the strong Swedish-speaking heritage of Finland’s southwest coast.
