Plevna, Industrial building in central Tampere, Finland.
The red brick building features a distinctive architectural style with ceiling windows illuminating the vast interior space of the former weaving hall.
Built between 1876 and 1877, Plevna contained 1200 power looms, making it the largest weaving hall in Nordic countries at that time.
The structure takes its name from the Bulgarian city of Pleven and the 1877 siege during the Russo-Turkish War involving Finnish soldiers.
The building now houses a Finnkino movie theater with 10 auditoriums and 1653 seats, along with the Plevna brewery restaurant and Koskipanimo microbrewery.
On March 15, 1882, Plevna became the first building in the Nordic countries and Russian Empire to use Thomas Edison electric lighting.
