Peter the Great Canal

The Peter the Great Canal in Kronstadt runs from the Obvodny Canal to the Gulf of Finland and is part of an ensemble together with the Dock Bridge, the docks in the Cross Canal, and the ravine between the Cross Canal and the basin with a ditch. In 2019, the structures of the Dock Bridge were overhauled and the turning mechanism was restored, and in 2016 the Museum of the History of Kronstadt was allocated funds for the inspection of the Peter's Dock, by which time about 60 percent of the stone rubble masonry of the walls had been destroyed. Construction of the canal began after 1720, when a canal was dug in Kronstadt and dams were laid, and in 1723 they began facing the walls with stone.
