The Peter and Paul Fortress is where all the Russian Czars are buried, including the last Czar, Nicholas II and his family. In 1998, their remains were placed inside after the long process of DNA identification in the 1990's. The fortress was the first building in the capital and is located near the city center. During the czar's regime, the fortress was used to imprison political opponents, very similar to the Tower of London.
