On
May 27, 1703 the Sankt-Petersburg
fortress was founded on Zayatchy
(Hare) island. The
island is only 600 meters long and 350 meters wide. However, the fortress was
constructed in the strategically important place of the Neva River»s estuary.
At first, the fortress was called Sankt-Petersburg
(Saint-Petersburg) -
the city of Holy Peter. Later, the Saints»
Peter and Paul Cathedral was built on the territory of the
island and the name was changed to the Petropavlovskaya
(Peter and Paul) Fortress.
The Peter and Paul Fortress was supposed to be the
Russia»s key to the European maritime communications - Russian outlet to the
Baltic Sea, by Peter the Great.
The enterprising emperor designed the plan of its construction himself. The
fortress has an elongated form from East to West and the walls repeat the
island»s outline. Pentagonal bastions at the corners of the fortress
constructed under the supervision of Peter
the Great and his close associates got their names - His Majesty»s, Menshikov,, Zotov,, Trubetskoy,, Golovkin, and Naryishkin,. The bastions are
connected with the others by six curtains - Peter»s, Catherine»s, Neva»s,
Basil»s, Nicholas and Kronverk. A canal was dug through the island to supply
the garrison of the Saint-Petersburg fortress with ammunition, hardware and
fresh water that was later covered with earth in 1882. The walls of the
fortress were mainly made of earth and wooden planks in 1703. Their replacement
with solid masonry constructions started in May 1706 and lasted till 1740. The
Swiss architect Domenico Tresini
designed bastions and curtains of the fortress to 12 meters high and to 20
wide. These military fortifications consist of two parallel walls. The external
walls are from 4 to 8 meters thick, while the internal ones are to 2,5 meters.
Casemates for soldiers and storage of ammunition were arranged between two
walls. The fortress has six gates and the main is the Petrine Gate designed by Domenico Tresini. The gate
was rebuilt in stone to the design of the same architect in 1718. The Petrine
gate imitates a triumphal gate of the Russian victories over Sweden. The
construction of ravelins - additional fortification structures, designed to
protect Eastern and Western gates of the Peter and Paul fortress, started in
1731. The Eastern Ioanovsky ravelin is called in honour of Peter I»s brother -
Ivan, while the Western Alekseevsky ravelin - after his father Aleksey Mikhailovitch.
Domenico Tresini presided the
construction of the Peter and Paul Cathedral
in 1712-1733. At first the 122,5 meters belfry was constructed to symbolize the
Russian steadfast position on the banks of the Neva River and the Baltic Sea. It was the highest
structure on the territory of Saint-Petersburg
from 1718 to 1963, when the present 316-meters TV-tower was built. The bell
tower ends with a 32-meters high golden spire, a turning cross with the figure
of an angel. A Dutch chiming clock bought by the order of Peter the Great was
placed on the top. The Peter and Paul Cathedral has an elongated rectangular
form with a high belfry on the western side instead of a high central cupola in
the Old Russian architecture. Inside the cathedral is divided into three naves
by two rows of pylons that support groined vaults. Murals and sculptures depicting
angels, chirrups and instruments of Christ»s torture decorate the vaults. One
of the most precious exhibits of the Peter and Paul cathedral is an
18th-century iconostasis. It was made of oak and linden by a group of skilled
craftsmen headed by Ivan Zaroudny in Moscow in 1722-1725. Then it was transported
to Saint-Petersburg and was placed inside the cathedral in 1727. The iconostasis
was designed in the form of a triumphal arch, symbolizing the Russian victory
in the Northern war over Sweden. The tsar»s place, the pulpit and copies of
Turkish and Swedish military banners impart a solemnity to the decoration of
the Peter and Paul Cathedral. In 1756, a thunderbolt struck the high spire, the
belfry with the figure of the angel burnt to the ground, and the inside of the
cathedral was badly damaged as well. Only twenty years later the bell tower was
completely rebuilt. The badly weathered frameworks of the belfry were replaced
with the exact copies made of steel to the design of civil engineer Zuravsky in 1858. Then the height of
the bell tower was increased to 122.5 meters due to the computation error. The
Peter and Paul Cathedral was a burial place of all Russian tsars. All Russian
emperors from Peter I to Nicholas II, except Peter II and Ivan IV, all Russian
empresses and many Grand Dukes were buried there. The Grand Ducal Burial Vault,
designed by Grimm, Tomishko and Benua, was constructed near the Eastern side of
the Peter and Paul cathedral in 1896-1906. Thirteen members of the Romanovs»
family were buried there before the Bolshevik October Revolution in 1917.
