Saint Petersburg Cadet Academy

Highlight • Historical Site

In the beautiful, historical building is the St. Petersburg Cadet Academy. Close by, across the street, lies the famous battleship Aurora.
With a bit of luck, one can observe in this emblematic environment also the military Zermonien usual in Russia ... even the smallest ones are already drilled (see photos). For this purpose, sometimes the entire road is blocked.

Aurora Cruiser

Highlight • Historical Site

The battleship Aurora is the legendary symbol of the Soviet revolution! This was the beginning of the October Revolution in 1917, and thus the seizure of power by the Bolsheviks under their famous leader Vladimir Ilyich Lenin. That was the end of the tsarist empire and the beginning of a new era in Russia.
Info tip: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aurora_(Schiff,_1900)
The mooring, which has been upgraded to a museum ship, is right in front of the Kadettenakademie St. Petersburg.

Peter the Great's Cabin

Highlight • Historical Site

Small log cabin - allegedly the first building of St. Petersburg. It was built in May 1703 for the Tsar in just 3 days. To protect against weathering, a stone house was built around the blockhouse (which reminds me a little of the Russian matryoshka cult ...) which today also serves as a museum.

Peter and Paul Fortress

Highlight • Historical Site

The Peter and Paul Fortress is the nucleus of Saint Petersburg.
Founded by Tsar Peter the Great at the strategically important Neva Estuary, this fortress was the beginning of a success story that turned it into a metropolis in just 300 years.

Bell Tower of Peter and Paul Cathedral

Highlight • Religious Site

On the striking, towering spire there is a cross with a 3 meter high golden angel - one of the most famous symbols of St. Petersburg!
Incidentally, the Peter Paul Cathedral was the first cathedral in Russia with a carillon. Today there are supposedly at least an impressive 140 bells 🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔 ...
