About this site
The Aleksanteri Theatre, a Neo-Renaissance building from the late 19th century, is located at the corner of Bulevardi and Albertinkatu. The building stands in the middle of the plot and is flanked by linden trees on the street sides. The two-storey building has a strongly rusticated ground floor and a smooth-surfaced piano nobile. The east-side entrance is emphasised by a pediment and cast-iron canopies protect the outer doors. On the southern side of the building is a canopy with three arcade bays that provided shelter for theatre-goers. A three-storey extension wing was added to the theatre building in the 1950s. Aleksanteri Theatre is part of the nationally significant built cultural environment of Bulevardi and Esplanadi (RKY site), which encompasses a number of prominent public buildings and Art Nouveau residential buildings. Bulevardi, originating from the 1810s detail plan of the capital, is a boulevard that has well preserved its character and basic form.
