Naantali's special characteristic is its setting by the sea. The story of Naantali began already in 1443 when a convent was decided to be built at the site. Nowadays only the convent church remains from those times and it is one of the most well-known landmarks in Naantali. The old town spreads next to the church and is cradled by the sea.

Or do you guess where the old sea bay stretched towards the area where Naantali's center is now situated? Might the names Sillankorva ("The corner of the bridge") and Sillanpää ("The end of the bridge") give any clue...
