Opochka, Administrative center in Pskov Oblast, Russia

The town of Opochka stands on the banks of the Velikaya River, with numerous residential buildings and local shops spread across its terrain.

Established in 1414 as a fortress under Pskov's control, Opochka withstood multiple sieges from Lithuanian and German forces during the 15th century.

The town maintains five federal heritage monuments and thirty-four local historical sites, including the Intercession Church and the traditional Kukolkin House.

The M20 Highway connects Opochka to major cities like St. Petersburg and Vitebsk, while regional roads link to neighboring districts and settlements.

The town developed ten industrial plants by the late 19th century, specializing in tanneries and trade operations involving linen, hides, and grain production.
