Петропавловская крепость / Peter and Paul Fortress
Why visit:
This is where it all started! The first building in Saint Petersburg founded by Peter the Great is a real treasure for those who are interested in Russian history! Conceived as a fortress to protect the new capital from Swedish attacks during the Nothern War in the beginning of the 18th century it had soon become the most frightening political prison in the country (you can still visit its dark corridors and hear prisioners' whisper in its cells). Here you will get acquainted with the biographies of Russian revolutionary leaders of the second half of the 19th century and if you enter the Peter and Paul Cathedral, also situated in the fortress, you'll be able to see the tombs of the victims of Great October Revolution of 1917-last Russian tsar Nicolas II and his family as well as other tombs of Russian monarchs starting from Peter the Great.a day,fixed price,just show up option
