Porokhovye Factory
Founded in 1710 by Peter the Great, this gunpowder producing plant was the flagship of the chemical industry in Russia for 200 years. It is still operational. This district is hardly visited by tourists, but in its own way is very picturesque, with Imperial and Soviet industrial architecture.
