Sirkkalankatu (Swedish: Sirkkalagatan; lit. Sirkkala Street) is a street in Turku. It runs for approximately 1.5 km in the city's I, II and III District beginning at Joukahaisenkatu and ending at Kivenhakkaajankatu near the Turku Sports Park.[1]
Sirkkalankatu got its current name during the 1920s. Before that the street was known as Arseninkatu.[2]
The street is located in a hilly area, and public transport bus routes only run between Kerttulinkatu and Joukahaisenkatu. Buildings along the street include the former Sirkkala barracks, Luostarinmäki Handicrafts Museum, the Turunmaa Hospital and the former maternity hospital Heideken.[1]
