By St. Petersburg

The Peter and Paul Fortress is a very famous landmark in St. Petersburg, founded by Peter the Great in 1703 and is the original citadel of St. Petersburg. It was built by Domenico Trezzini in the early 17 hundreds. It was used as a prison during the Tsar times. It is located on a small island in St. Petersburg called Zayachy.

Now it is open to the public being part of the State Museum of St. Petersburgs History, which now mostly owns this historic fortress building.
