For centuries St. Peter's
Heights was a monastery as well as a fortress. At this site more than
ten Imperial Assemblies of great European importance took place. St.
Peter's Heights is a completely unique example of European fortification
architecture as practiced between the 16th
and the 20th
centuries. It is located in the middle of a major city.
