Jaakko Ilkka monument, Stone monument in Ilmajoki, Finland
The stone monument features four towers with signal fire locations and contains a circular, vaulted room adorned with detailed mosaics throughout its interior.
Constructed in 1924, the monument marks the location where Jaakko Ilkka, executed in 1597 at Isokyrö church, was brought for final display during the Cudgel War.
The monument represents the resistance of Finnish peasants against Swedish rule, with relief images of club-wielding fighters decorating its vault section.
Located near Ilmajoki Museum and Kyrönjoki River, the monument stands in a field that hosts the annual Ilmajoki Music Festival events.
The interior chamber of the monument contains a round, domed space that showcases intricate mosaic decorations designed by sculptor Matti Visanti.
