Rovaniemi Aalto Centre
About
Alvar Aalto’s main work in Rovaniemi is the Aalto Centre, the administrative and cultural centre of Rovaniemi, which consists of the City Hall, the City Library and Lappia Hall, a congress venue and the home of Rovaniemi Theatre. The library was constructed first, in 1965, followed by Lappia Hall in 1975. Lappia Hall was the last building Aalto saw completed before his death.
