Kitee, Municipality in North Karelia, Finland.
The city extends across a landscape marked by numerous esker ridges, clear lakes, and extensive shorelines spanning over 1000 kilometers.
The settlement of Kitee originated in 1631, developing from its medieval roots into a municipality near the Finnish-Russian border in North Karelia.
The metal band Nightwish emerged from this municipality, establishing Kitee as a noteworthy location in Finland's music scene.
