Ratina (district)

Between Ratinanniemi and the Laukontori square is a pedestrian bridge called Laukonsilta, which significantly shortens travel time to the city center.

Ratinanranta is the southern part of the Tampere highway from Ratina, which used to be a recreation ground and factory area.

Ratinanniemi, which lies between the Ratina Reservoir and Lake Pyhäjärvi's Viinikanlahti, remained uninhabited for a long time, until a few residential buildings began to rise there in the late 19th century.

In 1874 a glass factory was built on the peninsula and a dozen years later two machine shops, but all these companies remained short-lived.

[4] The first town plan for the Ratinanniemi district was completed in 1886, according to which a total of 57 residential estates were reserved in the area, the smallest of which were for villa buildings.
