The River Aura is the heart and soul of Turku.The area is notable for the cultural heritage in Finland.






The city centre of Turku was founded long ago on the east side of the Aura River, something which is still found in the local vernacular today. The custom in Turku is to say that something is found "on this side of the river" or "the other side of the river".The older east side is "this side" and the newer west side is "the other".
The old side is home to, among other things, the Cathedral, University and Old Great Square. The new side is where you'll find such places as Turku Castle and the modern city centre, with its market square and shopping centres.
There are historical places along the Aura river, as well as various cafes and restaurants.

According to my research,
The Aura  is a river in south-western Finland. Its sources are in Oripää, and it flows through Pöytyä, Aura and Lieto before discharging into the Archipelago Sea in the middle of the city of Turku. The waters of the Aura river are brown.
The reserve tap water for Turku Region is drawn from the Aura, the city's secondary waterworks being situated by the Halinen rapids.
The word "Aura" appears to come from an archaic Swedish word for waterway (aathra, which is still current in the form ådra), but in Finnish it translates as "plough," a name the river lives up to. Situated in an agricultural zone, it is made turbid by surface runoff from nearby farms with eutrophication as the biggest threat.
Its condition has been improving since the 1970s and the Aura river is now clean enough to support salmon.
The banks of the river have been inhabited on locations for at least 6,000 years. The area is notable for the cultural heritage in Finland. The archdiocese of Finland has been situated near the river since the thirteenth century.

It's nice river.
