Comments:
The names of the streets in Helsinki appear in two languages: in Finnish and below it in Swedish.

Many times the names of the streets are accompanied by the name of an animal (as in this case a lion), a marking that began in 1800 of an idea imported from Stockholm, in which animals indicate the name of the district.

In many cases, a sign with the name of the animal and its illustration is also shown Click for sign's details

KORTTELI - district
LEIJONA - A lion
