5 AMAZING FACTS ABOUT PETER AND PAUL FORTRESS

Every tourist coming to Saint Petersburg visits Peter and Paul Fortress. It is the birthplace of the city and "must see" attraction. Today I'm going to tell you some amazing facts about the Fortress.

⭐ The Peter and Paul Fortress is located on Hare Island. The island got its name because it was inhabited by a huge number of medieval Bug Bunnies. According to legend, one of them jumped on the boot of Peter I when he stepped out from his boat.

⭐ The construction of the fortress was interrupted by.... bears! In 1703 all around the fortress there were swamps and dense forests with many brown bears living there. The animals have attacked the builders and bit them to death. It happened quite often and Peter I gave an order to hunt bears and to kill them as many as possible.

⭐ The Angel on the top of the spire of the Cathedral is a holy protector of the city. But its own destiny is very unlucky. The first gilded figure crowned the cathedral in 1724. After 30 years it was struck by lightning. The wings of the second angel were torn off by a storm. The third angel of 1778 rotated like a weather vane and was replaced after the reconstruction of the 19th century.

⭐ On the territory of the Peter and Paul Fortress you may see one of the few surviving "noon cannons" still functioning. Over 200 years the shot from the cannon notified the people of Saint Petersburg about the onset of noon. This tradition was introduced in 1819 by the commander of the Black Sea Fleet, Admiral Greig.

⭐ The fortress might not have survived to this day. In November 1925, a decision was made by the Leningrad Council on the destruction of the Peter and Paul Fortress and the construction of a football stadium in its place. Fortunately, there were a lot of paper works to be done, and the order was canceled before demolishing started.

If Saint Petersburg is on your bucket list, please consider me as your local travel agent and friend. Let me know when you want to come and whom you want to take with you. I will be delighted to help you with excursions, transportation and guide.
If you are travel agent, I will be glad to provide you very special conditions.

SIBERIAN BEARS DISAPPEARED

In Buryatia and the Irkutsk region, all bears have disappeared and camera traps stopped recording their activity. This means that most of them have already gone into hibernation, or stay close to their dens and get ready for a winter sleep.

Usually in Eastern Siberia, bears begin to settle in dens in November, not in October. According to the behavior of bears, you can confidently make a forecast - autumn is going to be long and winter is going to be harsh. They feel the weather better than any meteorological service.

The best place to see Russian bears in their natural environment is Kamchatka. The best Kamchatka tour 2022 is on sale already. To inquire please send me email: [email protected]

5 SECRETS OF THE MOSCOW KREMLIN

The largest active fortress in Europe, the main Moscow attraction and the heart of the entire Russia, the Moscow Kremlin keeps many secrets. Today we discover 5 of them:

⭐ Witch Mountain.
The place where Kremlin is located was inhabited centuries ago. People lived here in the Bronze Age, in the II millennium BC. During pre-christian times this place was called Witch Mountain and there was a pagan temple here.

⭐ Caches and secret passages.
You may not believe but there are 2 Kremlins: the one everybody knows and another one - Underground. A secret net of caches and underground labyrinths has connected Kremlin with different part of Moscow. It was possible to get from the Kremlin even to Vorobyovy Hills.

⭐ Leonardo, an architect of the Kremlin.
Of of Italians, who designed and built the Kremlin was Pietro Antonio Solari. Before coming to Moscow he has been working with the Leonardo da Vinci. Some historians guess that Leonardo could personally participate in the construction of the Kremlin. There is almost exact correspondences in his drawings with some elements of the Kremlin walls.

⭐ Hanging Gardens and Kremlin sea.
For a long time real hanging gardens adorned territory of the Kremlin. In the XVII century there were two large and few small (indoor) gardens on the roofs and terraces of palaces and a pond of 200 square meters. In this place, the young Peter the Great got his first sailing skills.

⭐ Red or white?
The Kremlin was originally red, but in the XVIII century it was whitewashed according to the fashion of that time. In 1941, the commandant of the Kremlin proposed to disguise the walls and the towers. Artificial streets were built here. The Kremlin walls were drawn with houses. The mausoleum turned into a country side house with a gable roof. The Kremlin became red again in 1947 by the order of Stalin. In principle, it was logical: red flag, red walls, Red Square.

Come to Moscow and discover more interesting facts and unbelievable stories of the Kremlin. Our local Moscow guides are experts and know how to amaze.

"Live" Moscow Kremlin Tour is available 20 languages including yours.
