If you walk out of Petropavlovskaya Fortress from northwest you suddenly turn out to be in quite a big free space which in good weather is all flooded with people getting a sun-tan. Beyond Kronverksky Strait on Kronvernskaya embankment you can see the Armoury building made of dark-red brick. Maybe this color disharmonizes with the light-coloured Petropavlovskaya Fortress but this building looks really impressive. And the weaponry exposed in front of the building face adds much to this view.
