Ioannovsky Ravelin, Military fortification in Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The Ioannovsky Ravelin extends from the eastern side of the Peter and Paul Fortress, featuring a triangular shape with stone walls and defensive positions.
Built in the early 18th century during the reign of Peter the Great, this fortification served as part of the defense system protecting Saint Petersburg.
The ravelin contains exhibitions about Russian military engineering and stands as a testament to the architectural achievements of the imperial period.
The entrance to the ravelin connects through the Ioannovsky Gate, with access from Gorkovskaya metro station through the fortress main entrance.
A former moat surrounding the ravelin has been transformed into gardens, while the structure houses a restaurant named Botardo within its walls.
