October Palace, Performing arts center on Heroyiv Nebesnoyi Sotni Alley, Kyiv, Ukraine.

The October Palace spans multiple levels within a grand neo-classical structure, featuring a central concert hall with ornate architectural details and expansive performance spaces.

Built between 1838 and 1842 by architect Vikentiy Beretti, the building initially served as the Russian Kyiv Institute for Noble Maidens before becoming a cultural center.

The International Center of Culture and Arts houses the National Orchestra of Folk Instruments and presents regular performances by Ukrainian and international artists.

The venue contains multiple performance spaces, a movie theater wing, training facilities for rhythmic gymnastics, and a library with over 70,000 items.

During the 1920s and 1930s, the building served as NKVD headquarters, with records indicating that 120,000 individuals were executed within its walls.
