The St Peter and St Paul Fortress

It was built as Peter the Great (I'm sitting in his legs and I'm seeing him, lol) invaded
the delta of Neva River in the war against Sweden in 1703.
It is considered to be th first structure of St Petersburg.The military fortress later became a prison for political "dissidents" such as Gorki, Trotskij,...
The golden spire dome of St Paul's cathedral is the best known landmark of the city. Nearly all the members of the Romanov royal families are buried inside the cathedral.






I'm with Peter the Great.
