The road from the pier to the west coast of the island

During the Crimean War, on the island was built, according to some estimates, up to 9 artillery batteries, as well as several infantry fortifications. However, large-scale work here began only after the war in 1859 and continued until 1863.
In the distance you can see the flag over the Kuustanmiekka island of fortress Suomenlinna.
