Rauma, Maritime municipality in Satakunta, Finland

The coastal town of Rauma stretches along the Gulf of Bothnia, featuring neighborhoods of wooden buildings and functioning shipyards near the harbor.

Founded in 1442 under Swedish rule, Rauma grew from a small fishing settlement into a maritime center with Finland's largest sailing fleet by 1897.

Local residents maintain the tradition of making bobbin lace, celebrated during the annual Lace Week festival with demonstrations and exhibitions.

The town center provides regular bus connections to neighboring municipalities, while the commercial port handles cargo ships throughout the year.

The local dialect, Rauman giäl, incorporates maritime vocabulary from Swedish, English, and German, reflecting centuries of international trade connections.
