Rauma – Kitukränn The charming wooden city of Rauma was founded in 1442. Happy Wednesday Wall ! The sign says: "Kaikenlainen soastus ja tahraaminen on ankarasti kielletty 20 Fmkn sakon uhalla." ("Any kind of pollution and staining is strictly prohibited under the threat of a fine of 20 Finmarks.") Rauma’s most well-known street, Kitukränn, runs between Kuninkaankatu and Kauppakatu. It is said to be the narrowest street in all of Finland. Kitukränn appeared in the maps for the first time in 1784, when it was marked on a copy of a map drawn by Daniel Gadolin in 1756. However, the street is probably even older than that. The width of the street varies between 213 and 263 centimetres, and it is approximately 60 metres long. The last part of the name comes from the Swedish word “gränd” which means ‘alley’, and the first part comes from a Swedish word “skit” which refers to excrement.
