About
The Cabin of Peter the Great (Russian: Домик (землянка) Петра I) is the place in the city of Derbent in Dagestan, where Tsar Peter the Great spent the night during the Persian Campaign of 1722. Only the foundation of the dugout has survived, over which a cultural and historical complex was built in the 21st century, including a pavilion-colonnade, a monument to the first Russian emperor and a museum building. The museum complex, opened in 2015, is a structural subdivision of the Derbent State Museum-Reserve.
The main exhibit of the museum complex is the remains of the dugout in which Peter the Great stayed during his stay in Derbent.
