Velikiye Luki, Industrial city in Pskov Oblast, Russia
The city extends along the banks of the Lovat River, featuring ancient ramparts and serving as a major railway junction in western Russia.
First documented in 1166 as Luki, the settlement gained military significance with the construction of a fortress in 1211 to protect trade routes.
The Regional Studies Museum preserves local artifacts and documents, illustrating the development of this strategic city through different historical periods.
