Ioannovsky Gate in Peter & Paul Fortress

Ioannovsky Gate in Peter & Paul Fortress, Military gate at Peter and Paul Fortress, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

The Ioannovsky Gate is a stone gate in the Ioannovsky Ravelin of the Peter and Paul Fortress, providing passage from the Ioannovsky Bridge into the fortress through the Petrovsky Gate. Its tympanum holds a cartouche crowned with an imperial crown and surrounded by banners, halberds and drums. The date "1740" is inscribed above the opening.

Built in 1738–1740 to a design by military engineer B. K. von Minich and erected under the supervision of H. de Marin, the gate was named after Tsar Ivan V, father of Empress Anna Ioannovna, during whose reign it was built. The date "1740" above the opening marks the completion of the stone Peter and Paul Fortress, of which this gate was the final element.
