Nykyisen Turun alueella on ollut yli sata kylää, joista suuri osa oli olemassa jo 1200-luvulla. Kaupungin kasvun alle jääneistä, enimmäkseen kadonneista kylistä on julkaistu laaja tutkimus.

These villages have mostly been demolished and they the grounds annexed to the city of Turku.
Some villages, such as Haliste's village hill, are still inhabited in village-like residential area. Village areas have also been turned into museums, , such as the village hill of Kurala.
Thus, both the village hill of Halinen and the village hill of Kurala have been inhabited continuously since the Iron Age.
