  Fortress of Peter and Paul  
 

Fortress of Peter and Paul, this view is from the top of the parapet of the Naryshkin bastion (1725) toward the Peter I bastion. Beyond that is a low wall section of the lunnet covering the bastion and entrance through the Peter Gate. Below, in between is the commandants dock outside the Neva Gate, from which prisoners were transported to Oreshek or exile.
