Rauma's Old Town, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1991, is one of the few surviving medieval town layouts in Finland, preserved in a dense cluster of wooden buildings along the Gulf of Bothnia. The Church of the Holy Cross, a Franciscan monastery church inaugurated in 1512, anchors the area and contains medieval paintings.

The centre is walkable, with cafés and restaurants along the main streets and around the town square.
