The restoration of the granite facades of the Peter and Paul Fortress will be completed at the end of December.
A large-scale renovation of the walls was the first in more than three centuries. The works began in 2022, but had to extend the deadline due to hidden damage that was discovered.
The fortress of Naryshkin suffered particularly badly. During the restoration, the noon shot was moved to the Sovereign's Bastion, but the 160-year-old tradition was preserved.
