Baltiysk, Naval port in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia.
Baltiysk extends along the northern section of the Vistula Spit, forming a natural barrier between the Vistula Lagoon and Gdańsk Bay.
The settlement started as a Prussian fishing village named Pile in the 13th century before the Teutonic Knights established control over the territory.
The Naval Cathedral of St. George stands as a central religious monument, displaying Russian Orthodox architecture within this military maritime community.
Access to Baltiysk requires special permits due to its status as a military zone, with visitors needing to arrange authorization through certified tour operators.
The pentagonal Pillau Citadel remains intact, featuring military architectural elements from multiple centuries of fortification development.
