There, Prince Alexei, a son of Peter the Great and a famous pretender to the throne, Princess Tarakanova, writer Radischev, Decembrists, and revolutionaries were all held as prisoners. Peter and Paul Cathedral, designed by Gresini, contains the remains of Russian rulers since 1725. You will also visit the Church on the Spilled Blood.
