Laitila (Finnish: [ˈlɑi̯tilɑ]; Swedish: Letala[6]) is a town and a municipality of Finland. It is located in the Southwest Finland region, and it is 59 kilometres (37 mi) from Laitila to Turku. The municipality has a population of 8,441 (31 December 2023)[3] and covers an area of 545.32 square kilometres (210.55 sq mi) of which 13.65 km2 (5.27 sq mi) is water.[2] The population density is 15.87 inhabitants per square kilometre (41.1/sq mi). The municipality is monolingually Finnish.

Laitila is renowned for its poultry farms and "egg festival" (Laitilan Munamarkkinat),[7] which is why the subject of the municipal coat of arms of Laitila also refers to the parish's fame for chicken care.[8] There is a lot of demand for Laitila-based chicken eggs, as the local egg producer company Munax, among other things, has even planned to egg exports all the way to South Korea.[9] Laitila has also been called the "egg capital of Finland".[1]

Culture

Laitila has a very large number of Iron Age antiquities, the most famous of which are the so-called the warrior's grave of Kodjala.[10] Finland's oldest glass object, the Roman-era drinking horn, has been found in Laitila's Soukainen village.[11] The nationally significant built cultural environments defined by the Finnish Heritage Agency in 2009 in Laitila include the Untamala[12] and Suontaka villages[13] and the Koukkela's the peasant house of Kauppila.[14]
