Answer:

Are

Step-by-step explanation:

For example boy is eating apple--

boys are eating apple

In the sentence mentioned above first we have to identify the subject to which is/are should agree with

subject is Buildings in Helsinki which is a plural noun and hence are is the correct verb to be used with buildings.
