Ullanlinna (Finnish: [ˈulːɑŋˌlinːɑ]; Swedish: Ulrikasborg) is a city district of Helsinki, in Finland. The name Ullanlinna (English: "Ulla's Castle") refers to the fortification line that was built at the southern edge of the area during the 18th century (no longer visible), as part of the town fortifications, which also included the fortress of Suomenlinna. The name Ulla refers to the Swedish Queen Ulrika Eleonora (1688–1741). During the 19th century the area was dominated by summer pavilions owned by the wealthy Helsinki middle-classes. The appearance of the area changed gradually at the end of the 19th century as the wooden houses were replaced with much higher stone buildings, designed in the prevailing Jugendstil architectural style synonymous with National Romanticism.The central part of Ullanlinna is marked by the Tähtitorninpuisto park (English: Observatory Park), at the centre of which is the former observatory, designed by Carl Ludvig Engel in 1825 in the Neoclassical style of architecture. Other notable buildings in the district are the Design Museum and the Museum of Finnish Architecture.

Most of the street is in Ullanlinna district, but its westernmost part forms the border between Eira and Punavuori districts. Since the end of the Second World War, the Soviet and later Russian embassy has been located on Tehtaankatu, and the name of the street has been commonly used as shorthand for Russian influence in Finland, especially during the Soviet era.Both the Finnish name Tehtaankatu and the Swedish name Fabriksgatan mean "Factory Street". The names were given to the street in 1887, because at that time an industrial zone was planned at the area which is now Eira. That plan was soon abandoned, but the name has remained.

The Helsinki Surgical Hospital (Finnish: Kirurginen sairaala, Swedish: Kirurgiska sjukhuset), often referred to as Kirurgi (Swedish: Kirurgen) or simply Kirra, is a hospital located in Helsinki, Finland, in the district of Ullanlinna along the street Kasarmikatu near the Tähtitorninmäki park. The hospital was built in 1888 and represents neoclassical architecture typical of the late 19th century. The hospital is part of the Helsinki University Central Hospital. Because of a great demand for a new hospital, the city of Helsinki donated the lot for construction of the hospital free of charge. The first designs for a new hospital were made by Hampus Dalström in the middle 1870s. However, the doctors were not satisfied with them, so the Senate of Finland held an architectural contest in 1877, which was won by the Swiss Sigismund Rangier. The designs of Ludwig Bohnstedt and Ernst Jacobsson were also accepted. The construction board did not think any of the designs was fit for construction on its own, so the board started combining elements from various designs led by Hampus Dalström and Frans Sjöström. After Sjöström's death, Helge Rancken took over from him, and the final designs in Sjöström's name were finished in 1885. Construction of the hospital started in 1886 and was completed in 1888.The hospital has later been expanded with additional buildings, for example an emergency duty department built in 1973, designed by Eija and Olli Saijonmaa. It was equipped with a helicopter landing pad.Emergency duty activity in the hospital stopped in 1994 and the helicopter landing pad was dismantled during renovation in 2010. Emergency duty activity in the hospital was reinstarted in 2015, when the policlinic for ear, nose and throat diseases moved there from the Helsinki Eye and Ear Hospital. Currently the hospital hosts the Ear Clinic except for the Phoniatrics Clinic, which remains at the Helsinki Eye and Ear Hospital in the Meilahti Hospital. The name Kirurgi (Swedish: Kirurgen) is also used for the terminus of the Helsinki tram line 10 located near the hospital. In April 2020 HUCS concentrated treatment of the COVID-19 pandemic to the Surgical Hospital and opened a new inpatient wing for COVID-19 patients. The hospital also hosted an intensive care unit for the treatment of COVID-19 patients. The COVID-19 care department was closed down in May 2021 as the number of patients decreased.
