St. Petersburg

The Fortress of Peter and Paul was built by Peter the Great. The idea was to protect the region from the attacks of Sweden. It was the fort that originated the city of St. Petersburg which later became the capital of the empire. In the center of the fortress is the magnificent Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul which contains the remains of all Russian rulers after Peter the Great, in particular the Romanov family.

A Fortaleza de Pedro e Paulo foi mandada construir por Pedro o Grande. A ideia era proteger a região dos ataques da Suécia. Foi a fortaleza que originou a cidade de São Petersburgo que viria a ser mais tarde a capital do império. No centro da fortaleza está a magnífica Catedral de São Pedro e São Paulo que contém os restos mortais de todos os soberanos russos, depois de Pedro o Grande, em particular a família Romanov.

In the shadow of the St Peter and Paul Fortress, the birthplace of St Petersburg, is a fitting place for all things Russian military. It's by far the most un-tourist friendly place we visited in St Petersburg (nothing written in English, the feeling you are walking around a Russian jail, staff who speak no English and look like they haven't seen sunlight for quite a while) and yet if you are interested in seeing anything in the history of the Russian military then it's perfect! There is a fascinating section on the AK47, and outside are more tanks, cannons and rockets than a playboy Russian President would know what to do with. It's very cheap to get in, but remember to pay the extra 150 roubles to be allowed to take photographs.
