Kronverk, Fortification at Peter and Paul Fortress, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Kronverk extends across Artillery Island, separated from Petrogradsky Island by the Kronverksky Canal and connected to the main fortress by bridges.
The construction of Kronverk occurred between 1705 and 1708, followed by substantial reconstructions in 1752 and 1800 to enhance its defensive capabilities.
The Military Historical Museum of Artillery, Engineers and Signal Corps within Kronverk displays extensive collections of military equipment from different periods.
Visitors can reach the fortification through multiple bus routes that connect central Saint Petersburg to the Peter and Paul Fortress complex.
Five Decembrist revolutionaries faced execution on the eastern rampart in 1826, marked by an obelisk installed in 1975 at the execution site.
