30Km (19mi) west from Saint Petersburg, there is a municipal town of Kronstadt, located on the Kotlin Island. Kronstadt is known as sea gates of Saint Petersburg, the only way to get to the city from the sea (Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland).
Peter The Great founded it in the same time as Saint Petersburg with just one fortification called Kronslot which is finally turned into a unique complex of 20 forts on Kotlin Island itself and around it.
Most of fortifications are made for an artillery defense of an approaches to Saint Petersburg. Back in those days there was so called Nortnern War between Sweden and Russia for the lands around Baltics (1700-1721), and demand for such a defense was obvious.
Besides that, for over 300 years history, Kronstadt became Saint Petersburg's main port, the seat of the Russian Admiralty and the base of the Russian Baltic Fleet with a population of 43,000 residents.
Nowadays, with a development of modern weapons, artillery of Kronstadt fortifications became outdates and de-militarized. But with getting a public access to all those forts, it's a great time to learn more about Kronstadt. In the summer time it's going to be the whole series of the videos.
This video about the first lighthouse museum of Russia founded in a former army barracks of 1868 at Fort "Konstantin" is the beginning.
Lighthouse Museum was founded in July 2017 by initiative of a true fan of lighthouses.
