Dzisna, Administrative division in Myory district, Vitebsk region, Belarus.

Dzisna is an administrative division in Myory district, Vitebsk region, Belarus, located where two rivers meet and form the settlement's geography. The town extends across both banks of the Dzisna River where it joins the Western Dvina, creating a distinctive riverside location.

The settlement began in the 10th century and later received city rights in 1569 from a Polish ruler. These two events mark the origins of the community and its development into a recognized urban center.

The Resurrection Orthodox Church displays an 18th-century icon that has survived multiple relocations during times of upheaval. This religious artwork reflects the deep connection of local people to their faith traditions.

The area is served by a working 19th-century automobile bridge and a ferry service for crossing the river. Visitors should expect limited amenities typical of a small town setting with a slower pace.

Archaeological remains of a medieval fortress sit on an island at the river confluence, waiting to be discovered by those exploring the area. This hidden history reveals how strategic the location was as a defensive position in earlier times.
