Tribune (architecture)

Example of a 20th-century tribune: The Zeppelinhaupttribüne (1934) at the Nazi Party Rally grounds, Nuremberg, Germany.
Lenin's Mausoleum (seen here) served as a viewing tribune for Soviet leaders to review military parades on Red Square such as this one in June 1945.

Tribune is an ambiguous – and often misused – architectural term, which can have several meanings. Today, it most often refers to a dais or stage-like platform or, in a vaguer sense, any place from which a speech can be prominently made.
