Орловский кремль, Medieval fortress site in Oryol, Russia
The Oryol Kremlin stood at the meeting point of Oka and Orlik rivers, featuring stone walls and wooden structures for defense purposes.
The fortress, established in 1566 under Ivan the Terrible, protected southern Russian borders from Crimean and Nogai Tatar raids until the early 18th century.
The Nativity Cathedral within the fortress walls served as the first religious center of Oryol from the 16th through 18th centuries.
The archaeological site reveals foundations of the original cathedral and contains ceramic artifacts dating back to the 12th century.
In 1974, the wooden sculpture group 'Founders of Oryol' was installed at the location of the former Nativity Cathedral within the kremlin grounds.
