Smolna, Helsinki
The Smolna is an Empire style building in the Kaartinkaupunki district of Helsinki, Finland.
It is usually used by the Finnish Government as a banquet hall as well as a space for hosting visiting dignitaries and government negotiations. However, currently it is serving as the government headquarters due to renovations of the Government Palace, though activities other than meetings will take place in an adjacent building on Eteläesplanadi 4
