'''Rauma''' is a town in southwestern [[Finland]] and has a population of 39,697 (2016).
== Old Rauma ==
Situated on the [[Gulf of Bothnia]], Rauma is one of the oldest harbours in Finland. Built around a [[Franciscan]] [[monastery]], where the mid-15th-century Holy Cross Church still stands, it is an outstanding example of an old Nordic city constructed in wood. Although ravaged by fire in the late 17th century, it has preserved its ancient vernacular architectural heritage.<ref>http://whc.unesco.org/en/list/582</ref>
