      of cultural and historical significance. Our curators are engaged in various exhibition and publishing
      projects.

      Peter and Paul Fortress
      The Peter and Paul Fortress was founded on May 27, 1703. According to legend, Peter I himself chose the place for the new fortress - a small Hare Island (in Finnish - Yenisaari), located at the mouth of the Neva River.

      The citadel in the shape of a six-pointed star was built according to a project drawn up by the French engineer J.G. Lambert with the participation of the king.

      Six curtains are connected by six powerful bastions named after the associates of Peter I. The Ioannovsky and Alekseevsky ravelins close the defensive system from the west and east. Two bridges - Ioannovsky and Kronverksky - connect Zayachy Island with Petrogradsky.
