Kallio, Urban neighborhood in Helsinki, Finland
Kallio extends north of Helsinki center across the Pitkäsilta bridge, featuring diverse architecture and residential buildings against the granite bedrock foundation.
The district emerged in the 1860s as an industrial zone, transforming from worker housing to a residential area for 16,494 inhabitants per square kilometer.
The neighborhood maintains numerous art galleries, performance venues, and the 100-meter Suvilahti Graffiti Wall, Finland's first authorized street art location.
The district connects to central Helsinki through two metro stations, multiple tram lines, and the number 3 tram from the central railway station.
Kallio Church, designed by Lars Sonck between 1908 and 1912, stands with its black granite steeple as the district's primary architectural landmark.
