Menshikov battery, Coastal fortification in Kronstadt, Russia.
The Menshikov Battery features thick stone walls and artillery positions along the waterfront, designed to defend against naval attacks approaching Saint Petersburg.
During the Great Northern War in the early 18th century, the battery served as a key defensive position, helping protect the Russian Empire's maritime interests.
The battery stands as an example of Russian military engineering, demonstrating the construction methods and defense strategies of the 18th-century naval forces.
Tours of the battery operate throughout the year, with boats departing from mainland cities providing transportation to this military monument on Kotlin Island.
The fortification contains preserved cannon positions and underground storage areas that were used to store ammunition and supplies during military operations.
