Nevsky (Lvov) Gates of the Peter and Paul Fortress
Gates in the Neva Courtine of the Peter and Paul Fortress. Erected (1703), rebuilt from stone (1747–48). Facade looking onto the River Neva was designed in the Neoclassical style by Nikolai Lvov (1787). Engineer R. T. Tomilov rebuilt the wooden Neva Landing Wharf before the gates in stone (1777). The jetty for the fortress commander’s cutter was renamed the Commander’s Landing Wharf (1860s). Contains marks showing the water level during the most devastating floods (1752, 1777, 1788, 1824, 1924, 1975).
