Alhambra, Theatre in Stockholm, Sweden
The Alhambra is a former theater building in Stockholm's city center, constructed with Moorish-inspired architectural elements including domed windows and rounded columns. The building was later converted into a souvenir shop, operated by Skansen since 1992.
The building opened in 1870 following architect Johan Erik Söderlund's design and served as an important theater venue for Stockholm's entertainment scene. After experiencing multiple fires, with the final reconstruction happening in the 1920s, the building survived and changed its purpose.
The name references Moorish architecture, which shaped this building in the city center through its domed windows and rounded columns. This distinctive design made it stand out among other Stockholm structures.
The building is located in central Stockholm and is easily accessible on foot, currently operating as a souvenir shop. Visitors should note that the interior is geared toward retail operations, and the architecture is best viewed from outside.
During the 1940s, the outdoor area offered a distinctive experience with live music performances during meals. This format created a social gathering spot defined by the blend of dining and entertainment.
