The Peter and Paul Fortress is a must see! It’s the cradle of Saint-Petersburg - the date of its foundation is considered to be the date of the foundation of the city. The Peter and Paul Fortress has always been an important character in the history of Russia. Peter the Great conceived it as a lock to the Neva river. It was to keep the Swedes at bay and keep the “window to Europe” open. Ironically, the Peter and Paul fortress never put its guns to use in a real battle. However, it became a Russian Bastille, a political prison. Lots of famous people who didn’t agree with the main political course of the Russian emperors were incarcerated here. Russian emperors themselves, starting from Peter I, were buried in the Peter and Paul Cathedral. The Peter and Paul Cathedral is an important landmark of Saint Petersburg, one of the highest buildings in the city.
