📍 From Биржевой сквер, Russia
Erected in the early 18th century, Peter and Paul Cathedral is Saint Petersburg’s oldest landmark, rising above the city with its gilded spire symbolizing Russia’s imperial power. Commissioned by Peter the Great, this refined Baroque gem houses the final resting places of the Romanov rulers, from Peter I to Nicholas II. Step inside to marvel at tall iconostases, vibrant murals, and intricately carved details. The adjacent bell tower offers sweeping views of the fortress complex and the Neva’s waters. Located within the Peter and Paul Fortress on Zayachy Island, the cathedral remains a key chapter in the city’s history. Dress modestly and be mindful of religious observances.
