Gloria Palace

Gloria Palace is a theatre building at Freedom Square number 5 in Tallinn, featuring classical architecture with balanced proportions and grand design elements. The structure displays a broad facade with symmetrical features and was planned as an important public building.

The building opened as a cinema in 1926 with a film screening and served as an entertainment venue for decades. It was later repurposed and has functioned as a theatre since the middle of the 20th century.

The Russian Drama Theatre has called this place home since 1948 and continues to present performances for audiences. It serves as a vital stage for theatrical works and actors in the city.

The building is located in central Tallinn and is easily reached on foot. Visitors will find it in a busy district with many other attractions nearby.

During the 1930s, the building housed a dance venue with its own name for a brief period. This chapter as a dance location ended when other institutions claimed the space.
