With my second post on Ecency, I decided to continue the story about the city in which I live. But first of all I want to say that I'm new here, and my resources are running out very quickly. So I hope that you will forgive me if I suddenly didn't answer someone or someting like this, I just can't always do it by now... So, St. Petersburg is quite a young city: it was founded on May 27, 1703: it was on this day that the Peter and Paul Fortress was laid, and that's what I want to show today. In the first picture you can see the fortress from the Hermitage side. All the other photos were taken on another hot day in the summer of 2021, and already next to the fortress and directly in it. The fortress is located on an island in the center of the city, it is connected to the shore by two bridges. Most often tourists (and Petersburgers, probably, too) use the bridge located next to the Gorkovskaya metro station: from there the way is closer, and the station building itself is worth a look))
