About

The exhibition examines the fortress as a special space where landscape, history, power, and memory converge. An archaeological perspective helps to see in defensive structures not only a trace of the past but also a place that continues to influence the cultural image of the city and the country. The exhibition invites visitors to view the fortress more broadly than the usual historical representation. Here, it unfolds as a result of the interaction between humans and the natural landscape, as a refuge, a political symbol, and a cultural landmark. The route is designed for the viewer to immerse layer by layer-from the material foundation to symbolic meaning, from archaeological fact to modern perception. In a unified space, various types of fortified structures that have ever existed in the country are gathered: settlements, kremlins, citadels, fortresses. A separate role is played by the St. Petersburg narrative of the early 18th century, related to the Northern War and the birth of a new urban reality. A continuous thread runs through the history of the Peter and Paul Fortress-from the ideas and fortification concepts of Peter the Great's time to its current existence as a monument and part of the urban environment. Where to go in St. Petersburg, we tell on KUDAGO.
