Kerava is a town in Central Uusimaa, in Southern Finland. It's located about 30km to the north from Helsinki and is part of the greater metropolitan area.
An industrial town emerging from scratch along the railway a little more than a century ago, you won't find any old town in Kerava. However the city has its fair share of modern art and architecture.
- Sampola underpass. Passing under the railway and connecting eastern Kerava with the central parts, this underpass is decorated with light installations and paintings.
- Kerava church. A rather cubist building, built in 1963 with white tiles and concrete.
- Many modern sculptures and statues around downtown.
- The new water tower. Doubles as a water tower and a modern artwork.
