Tampa Theatre, Historic movie theater in Downtown Tampa, United States.
The Tampa Theatre features Mediterranean Revival architecture with ornate plasterwork, chandeliers, and a grand pipe organ across its 1,252-seat auditorium.
John Eberson designed this 1926 movie palace, which became part of the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 after community efforts prevented its demolition.
The theater maintains its traditions through classic film screenings, contemporary independent movies, documentaries, and live performances throughout the year.
Located at 711 Franklin Street, the theater provides digital film projection while maintaining traditional reel format capabilities for specific screenings.
The interior creates the effect of a Mediterranean courtyard with statuary, flowers, and gargoyles beneath a ceiling that displays an artificial night sky.
