Peter and Paul Fortress Surveying the Fortress

I invite you to visit the Peter and Paul Fortress.

I propose to begin acquaintance with the history of St. Petersburg from the Peter and Paul Fortress.

Together with me we will explore the main attractions of the island.

The fortress was built to protect against enemy attack, but never participated in any fighting.

Peter and Paul Fortress is located on Hare Island, where St. Petersburg was founded on May 16, 1703 (old style)

The main political prison, the imperial and grand ducal tombs, the Mint, the Petrovsky Gate, an unusual monument to Peter, a noon volley, historical facts and myths, allegories and an underground passage.

Petrovsky Gate - as a triumphal monument of the 18th century, the Noon Shot Ceremony (at 12 o'clock in the morning!!), the Beach and Cathedral Square of the Fortress, we will find the first cemetery where all the Commandants of Petropavlovsk were buried, we will visit the Tomb of the Romanovs and the Grand Ducal Shrine.

Peter and Paul Fortress is the heart of St. Petersburg.
