Northern Fortress

Quarry

#19 - 193 kb

On the east coast, there are a couple of rather large granite quarries of 1850s and 60s, which is a common for these places. A lot of granite was mined on the islands of Vuborg Bay, since it was easy to carry it by water to constuction sites in the capital of St. Petersburg.
