Discover Peter and Paul Cathedral and Grand Ducal burail chapel and Trubetskoy Bastion prison.

Listen to your expert guide's stories about the place which used to be a military base, then a government site, the burial place of the imperial family and ended up as a jail that held some of Russia's most prominent political prisoners.
