Lapua, Municipal town in Southern Ostrobothnia, Finland.

Lapua extends across 751 square kilometers of land and water, maintaining a population of 14,033 residents within the Southern Ostrobothnia region.

The Lapuanjoki Valley welcomed its first permanent settlers in the 14th century, drawn by the fertile soil and advantageous water routes for transportation.

The Cultural Centre Vanha Paukku houses museums, a library, music school, adult education facilities, and serves as the primary arts venue for the region.

National roads 16 and 19 connect in central Lapua, while the town operates public services including education centers and recreational facilities.

The former Lapua State Cartridge Factory, which supplied ammunition during World War II, transformed into an arts center after a devastating 1976 explosion.
