Fort Peter I

Fort "Peter I", originally called "Citadel", was founded in December 1721 on wooden piles and cribs. In May 1724, engineer M. M. Samarin reported to the emperor about the completion of the cutting and installation of cannons, and by 1818 the fortress armament had reached 120 guns. Currently, the fort is under restoration according to the decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated February 22, 2020, and its opening to visitors is planned no earlier than 2026. During the operation of the anti-plague laboratory on Fort "Alexander I", Fort "Peter I" took its armament into storage.
