Reportedly, the Three Smiths statue has been a landmark in the city since 1932. Hard to miss it at the main intersection of Aleksanterinkatu and Mannerheimintie.

Beautiful statue and a popular meeting place in Helsinki's shopping district.
Cool monument, which is very impressive and is situated at the centre of Helsinki!
The Three Smiths Statue is a sculpture by Felix Nylund, located in Three Smiths Square at the intersection of Aleksanterinkatu and Mannerheimintie. This realistic statue, unveiled in 1932, depicts three smiths hammering on an anvil. The smiths are naked. The statue was donated to the city of Helsinki by the Pro Helsingfors foundation, which had acquired it with the help of a monetary donation from the businessman Julius Tallberg. Tallberg's commerce house is situated at the northern end of Three Smiths Square. The statue was damaged in a bombing during the Continuation War in 1944. Marks of the damage can still be seen at the base of the statue, and the anvil has a hole in it caused by bomb shrapnel. The Three Smiths Statue is a popular meeting place, and the Green League has often located their election campaign quarters next to it. A Peruvian street music orchestra often performs in the area during the summer
One star for each.
Good place in the centre of Helsinki, with a statue of three hard workers that use iron and metals. Near that there are typical commercial shops and the Norriesplanade that goes to the Market Square and the Harbour of Helsinki.
It is what you see in picture... nothing enormously grand... but this is a reflection on the city's past..
I love Helsinki. It is a top choice for a city to visit world wide.
