Nevsky Gate in Peter & Paul Fortress
Nevsky Gate in Peter & Paul Fortress, Fortress gate on Neva River bank, Saint Petersburg, Russia
The granite facade of Nevsky Gate features a neoclassical arch design that marks the main water entrance to Peter and Paul Fortress.
Architect Domenico Trezzini supervised the construction of Nevsky Gate from 1727 to 1731, with granite cladding added between 1779 and 1781.
The Pechatnya Graphic Workshop occupies the interior spaces of the gate structure, continuing the artistic traditions within the fortress walls.
Visitors reach the gate through Commandant's Pier, accessing the fortress complex via the nearby Gorkovskaya metro station in Saint Petersburg.
The gate's interior spaces previously served multiple functions, from military barracks to prison cells, reflecting the fortress's changing roles.
