Linnainmaa

Linnainmaa is a district of about 6,000 inhabitants[1] in the eastern part of Tampere, Finland, about six kilometers from the city center.

[2] Tampere's eastern bypass borders Linnainmaa in the west, and Highway 12 in the north.

The minutes of the Great Partition of 1785 mention a field called Linnama, which was jointly owned by several Messukylä houses; the name may thus refer to the main estate of Linna (meaning "castle").

In the street nomenclature, Alanikkilänkatu, Hannulankatu, Jussilankatu, Kirviälänkatu and Ylinikkilänkatu refer to old main buildings; In the 1960s, Kirviälä was on display as one of the options for the name of the district.

[4] Linnainmaa's commercial services have been concentrated since the 1990s near the intersection of Tampere's eastern bypasses and the Lahti Road.
