Abstract LAGUNA is the next-generation underground Megaton-scale detector for the search for proton decay, for neutrino astrophysics and for the investigation of neutrino properties. A brief description of the three considered detector technologies is given and the main physics goals presented. While many of the research topics for LAGUNA are not affected by the geographical location of the detector, there are two areas where it is very important: low-energy neutrino measurements and long-baseline neutrino oscillations. Evaluation of the physics arguments in both cases indicates Pyhasalmi mine as the best European site for LAGUNA.
