The Stone of the Empress ("Keisarinnankivi" in Finnish) by Carl Ludvig Engel is the oldest public memorial in Helsinki. It was erected in 1835 in the Market Square to commemorate the Empress Alexandra's (the German-born wife of Nicholas I), first visit to Helsinki.

The Three Smiths, standing on Kolmensepänaukio in front of the Old student house and opposite of the Stockmann department store, is a statue by Felix Nylund from 1932.

MCMXXXII" is inscribed on the pedestal. The statue has been interpreted to symbolize for instance human labour and cooperation between people.
