Peter and Paul Fortress - a building of the same age as St. Petersburg

If you want to find a building that is the same age as the city of St. Petersburg, then it is the Peter and Paul Fortress. It can be said that St. Petersburg was born and developed under the protection of the fortress. The fortress is a famous ancient building in St. Petersburg, located on the right bank of the Neva River. It was built for defense before, gradually became a prison, and now it is a museum. When we arrived at the fortress, it was already evening, and the weather was still cloudy, making the sky particularly dark. Admission here is free, but the prison and church charge fees. There are many buildings preserved here, including the Peter and Paul Cathedral, the bell tower, the St. Peter's Gate, Peter the Great's boat house, the mint, the arsenal, the Kronverk tower, and the Decemberists' Monument. Here, rabbit decorations can be seen everywhere, and this place is also called Rabbit Island. If it weren't for time constraints, we could have played here for a long time.
