Visitors to Saint Petersburg who have anything of a spiritual or historical bent will definitely appreciate a visit to the legendary Peter and Paul fortress. For many years, the Fortress served as the main citadel of the city during its days as the nation’s capital, and it remains home to many other attractions even now, such as the Peter and Paul Cathedral. Visitors can see the tombs where nearly all the major Russian Tsars are buried, as well as key members of royal families who helped shape the city’s history.

The Fortress regained some of its contemporary notoriety during the Bolshevik Revolution, when it changed hands many times between the government and the revolutionary forces. Visitors to the Fortress, then, are able not only to witness an astonishing piece of ancient architecture, but also to learn about crucial aspects of Russian social and political history and heritage both ancient and contemporary.
