Åland: Mariehamn

Today I got three postcards: one from the Åland Islands, one from Macao and one from Germany.

The card from the Åland Islands shows Mariehamn. Mariehamn is the capital city and only city of the Åland Islands. It is also the second most important harbour of entire Finland. The city was founded in 1861 by Russian Emperor Alexander II and is named after his wife, Maria Alexandrovna.
