Description 
Petropavlovskaya fortress in St. Petersburg is also known as Peter and Paul fortrress.

Peter & Paul Fortress. Peter and Paul Fortress (Petropavlovskaya Krepost) was founded by Peter the Great in the 1703 to protect the city from Sweden navy. But it had lost military significance before it was completed. So it had been used as a prison for two centuries. There were plenty of famous prisoners like Alexei (son of Peter the Great, whom Peter put there himself), Dostoevsky (the author of the "The Crime and Punishment"). Nowadays the fortress cannon fires at noon, midnight and when the flood is coming. The fortress is interesting itself and there are also some nice museums in it, like Sts Peter and Paul Cathedral (18 century), where Peter the Great and other Russian emperors (except Nicolay II) were buried. Trubetskoy bastion is a former prison. The Mint museum. Museum of Gas-Dynamic Laboratories with cosmonauts' personal items and other space related stuff, I don't know why they placed it in the fortress.
