Peter and Paul Fortress

The Peter and Paul Fortress (Russian: Петропавловская крепость, romanized: Petropavlovskaya krepost') is the original citadel of Saint Petersburg, Russia, founded by Peter the Great in 1703 and built to Domenico Trezzini's designs from 1706 to 1740 as a star fortress. Between the first half of the 1700s and early 1920s it served as a prison for political criminals. It has been a museum since 1924.

        La Puerta Petrovsky de piedra con decoración de madera tallada fue construida en 1708 (reconstruida en 1716-1717) según el diseño de Domenico Trezzini. El arco está coronado por un poderoso ático con un frontón de arco de medio punto, decorado con un panel de madera tallada 'El derrocamiento de Simón el Mago por el apóstol Pedro' del escultor Kondrat Osner (transferido desde la puerta en 1708). Este panel simboliza las victorias de Rusia en la Guerra del Norte (Simón se identifica con el rey sueco Carlos XII, el apóstol Pedro con Pedro I). El ancho del bajorrelieve de madera es de 4,9 m y la altura de 3,35 m. En el frontón del ático hay un alto relieve que representa la bendición del Dios de los Ejércitos. Los nichos contienen estatuas creadas por el escultor francés N. Pinault: a la izquierda - 'Prudencia', a la derecha - 'Coraje'. En agosto de 1720, se instaló sobre el arco un escudo de armas ruso (águila bicéfala), realizado en plomo por el maestro François Vassou (antes, la puerta estaba decorada con un escudo de armas de alabastro de estuco, pintado “para parecerse al roble”). En 1723, el artista Alexander Zakharov y el dorador Ivan Uvarov pintaron la figura de negro y doraron las coronas, el cetro, el orbe y partes del escudo. Petrovsky Gate. Peter and Paul Fortress 39
