Parkano, Municipal division in Pirkanmaa, Finland
Parkano extends over 909 square kilometers of land and water bodies, offering a mix of urban infrastructure and natural landscapes near highways 3 and 23.
The establishment of Parkano as a municipality in 1867 marked the beginning of its development into an agricultural and industrial center in the Pirkanmaa region.
The wooden cross church from 1805 and its red granite belfry from 1889 represent the architectural heritage preserved under the Building Heritage Act.
The Parkano train station, situated seven kilometers from downtown, connects travelers to major Finnish cities through the Tampere-Seinäjoki railway line.
