It's a pretty beautiful and interesting place. We were here with a tour guide, who told us a lot about the city itself and the sights. The settlement is located in the center of the city, where the Orshitsa River flows into the Dnieper. Here you can see good views of the city and stroll along the hill. Orsha Castle once stood in these places, which was destroyed during the Northern War. There is also a monument on the site in honor of the founding of Orsha.

The ancient settlement in Orsha is a cultural and historical treasure, one of the symbols of the city of Orsha. The settlement was located at the place where the Orshitsa River flows into the Dnieper River, on the waterway "from the Varangians to the Greeks." The construction of the city of Orsha on the cape of the confluence of two rivers in the annals dates back to the XII century. Since the city was located on the path of military campaigns and actions, it often became the site of large-scale battles. Endless military operations have caused great damage to the ancient settlement, and almost nothing has survived from it to this day, except for the earthen rampart.

Valeria is an excellent guide, an interesting tour, and the word "dozhinki" is new to us. It seems that if it weren't for these magical "dozhinki" there would be no such beauty in the historical part of the city. Orshansky Flax is a very good store, I recommend it to everyone! One hour was not enough, and you should definitely visit the store opposite, knitwear at a normal price and quality .
