"Ile, ancienne prison pour les révolutionnaires, beau panorama sur la ville"

"UNESCO World Heritage since 1990 Tsar Peter the Great founded the city of St. Petersburg in 1703 on land that had been captured from Sweden, intending it to be the new capital of Russia. At the time, Russia was at war with Sweden in the Great Northern War (1700-21), so the city's first structure was the Peter and Paul Fortress, built on one of the city's islands. The complex was eventually extended to include a prison and cathedral, and is one of the monuments of Peter the Great's determination to make Russia a modern state. St. Petersburg was created virtually at the will of Peter the Great. While the city was being built, he sometimes resided in a simple log cabin that in 1703 had been constructed in three days to the east of the site of the Peter and Paul Fortress. The fortress was not actually needed during the war because the Swedish forces never reached St. Petersburg. A grand stone cathedral was built between 1712 and 1733 as part of the complex, and was used as the final resting place for all the tsars of Russia from Peter the Great to the executed Nicholas II. From around 1720 onward, the fortress was used as a garrison and as a jail for political prisoners. During the October Revolution of 1917, the Peter and Paul Fortress played an important role. It was first used to hold imperial officials to protect them from public anger, and eventually it fell into the hands of the Bolsheviks. In 1924 the fortress was converted into a museum. The Peter and Paul Fortress spans modern Russian history from the days of Peter the Great to Vladimir Lenin. It was the first large-scale structure to be built in the magnificent city of St. Petersburg, and stands as a monument to the absolute power that the tsars of Russia enjoyed before the revolution."
