Orsha, Regional capital in Vitebsk Region, Belarus
Orsha extends across both banks of the Dnieper River, positioned at the intersection of major transportation routes between Minsk, Moscow, and Baltic ports.
The first written records of Orsha date back to 1067, when it was mentioned as a fortress town within the Polotsk Principality.
The Jesuit College in Orsha, established during the 16th century, developed into a notable educational center for the entire Vitebsk Region.
The city serves as a major railway junction connecting Belarus with Russia, featuring direct connections to Minsk, Moscow, and Saint Petersburg.
The Orsha region contains numerous glacial boulders scattered across its fields, with the largest specimen near Kudayevo village recognized as a natural monument.
