One of the older building in old town

The name and the invitation to see the city from above. Local folklore suggests the devil carved these steps to climb up to the cathedral and claim it for himself.
In reality, Devil’s Stairs sits on Koulukuja (School Alley), historically serving as a natural route connecting two parts of Old Town. It provides a link between the higher hill areas and the riverside. Though steep and uneven, it’s a whimsical passage winding between wooden houses. At the top, a small lookout offers charming views of Porvoo’s rooftops and the cathedral.
