Opochka fortress, Archaeological fortress site in Opochka, Russia
The fortress contains ancient walls and defensive structures on the Velikaya River, demonstrating medieval military engineering techniques from the regional past.
Founded in 1414 as a defensive stronghold, the fortress protected Pskov from southern threats and withstood multiple sieges by Lithuanian and German forces.
The fortress site preserves architectural elements that reflect the military construction methods of medieval Russian defensive structures in the Pskov region.
The fortress remains are accessible through the M20 Highway connecting Saint Petersburg to Vitebsk, with several local roads providing additional access routes.
Researchers at the site continue to uncover artifacts that provide information about defense mechanisms and community life during the medieval period.
