Petrovsky Park (Kronshtadt)

Petrovsky Park in Kronstadt covers an area of 5.6 hectares and is a cultural heritage site of federal significance. The former swampy area was raised with soil from the construction of the Petrovsky Canal and has been planted with trees since 1836. The park features a monument to Peter I on a pedestal made of red polished granite with an 18th-century ornament, as well as a memorial sign dedicated to the heroes of the Battle of Tsushima. From the cannons on the Winter Pier, from which ferries and motorboats departed in 1998–2011, a noon shot used to be fired, and one of these cannons was moved to the Petrovsky Canal.
