The Neo-Gothic Juselius Mausoleum, located in the Käppärä cemetery in central Pori, was built in 1903
by the wealthy industrialist F.A. Juselius for his daughter Sigrid who
died when she was only 11 years old. The Mausoleum was designed by the architect Josef Stenbäck. The Mausoleum originally had frescoes painted by artist Akseli Gallen-Kallela, but these decayed after a short time. The frescoes were restored by Akseli's son Jorma Gallen-Kallela using his father's sketches.
Pori is known, among other things, for the sand beaches of Yyteri and for hosting Pori Jazz, an annual international jazz festival.
