The time cannon is the fortress of Vladivostok. In 1889, Vladivostok was officially declared a fortress, and during the First World War, the fortress successfully resisted attacks from sea and land and was called impregnable. A large number of powerful weapons at the time were left on the fortress, which is a good place to visit. Since the time of Peter the Great, all maritime military fortresses in Russia have the rule of firing guns at noon, and the Vladivostok fortress has also maintained the tradition of firing guns once a day at 12 noon.
