Peter and Paul's fortress

Liliya Liliya
Event organizer
Петропавловскую крепость называют сердцем или колыбелью Санкт-Петербурга. Помимо своей символической роли в основании города крепость строилась, как защитница отвоеванных земель, и по сей день считается одним из самых удачных и хорошо сохранившихся образцов фортификационных сооружений XVIII века.

Details

On a tour of the Peter and Paul Fortress we will:
— evaluate the architectural features and fortification characteristics of the fortress, which was supposed to reliably protect the city.

— see the buildings and structures that have survived from Peter’s times; Peter's Gate — the first triumphal arch, glorifying the personality and victories of Peter the Great, the engineering house, where a commission of architects and engineers developed the first plans for the city and standard drawings of the city's buildings, the Peter and Paul's Cathedral, the tomb of the Romanov dynasty.

— talk about what other functions the fortress had and what role its commandant played. Let me give you a hint: within the walls of the fortress is the Mint and the main political prison of the empire.

— talk about the Romanov dynasty personalities. Inside the Peter and Paul's Cathedral and discuss the sad fate of the political prisoners of the fortress casemates, Tsarevich Alexei, Princess Tarakanova, young Alexander Ulyanov and Alexander Morozov, who lived, despite lifelong hard labor, for almost 90 years.
— see the midday shot — one of the oldest traditions of the fortress.

Peter T.
We were with Lilia for 2 days and had a fabulous time. We visited Peterhof one day and Tsarsko Selo the second day. Lilia was very knowledgeable, patient and fun. She is an excellent guide to have for both of these destinations and without a doubt for any Tour she provides. When (and not if) we return to St Petersburg we will definitely have Lilia show us much more of this great city. FYI a whole day for Peterhof and another full day for Tsarsko Selo is needed. To be able to see these palaces properly you do need to spend the whole day. We took the hydrofoil to Peterhof which is the best and easiest way to get to and from the palace. We were docked at the "English Embankment" on Azamara Journey. One interesting point is right beside the our ship is where the Aurora fired the shot to start the Revolution. Finally we recommend Lilia very highly and if you want a great Tour then choose her. Regards, Catherine and Peter
