Peter and Paul Fortress

Built as a fortress in 1703 by Peter the Great, this building was used instead as a political prison under the czars, and houses the City History Museum, the Mint, and the Peter and Paul Cathedral.

Like other buildings in St Petersburg, the Peter and Paul Fortress is an impressive complex full of grand ideas. Probably the most important building is the Peter and Paul Cathedral. The Cathedral is best known for its unique architecture, including spire, and the tombs of Russian tsars. Their desire to show off their wealth shows no bounds. This is more than an A B C. Thanks for your vote.

Peter and Paul Cathedral

The oldest and one of the tallest buildings in St. Petersburg is popular for the spectacular view provided by the thin, gilded needle-like spire rising from its bell tower. The graves of nearly all Romanov rulers since Peter the Great are here.

Reviewed By Bfmcm - Denny, United Kingdom

We visited the cathedral as part of a cruise ship tour and were very impressed. There was a lengthy queue when we entered but when we left we realised how lucky we’d been as the queue was twice as long. Externally the cathedral is impressive with its tiered aspect tower and gold tipped spire. Internally it is a very busy place with many people viewing the numerous sarcophagus holding imperial family remains. Definitely a place to visit in St Petersburg.
