Participation in the Orsha Twilight campaign timed to coincide with the Day of Monuments and Historical Sites

On April 21, 2023, the “Fest of Guides” took place, which has become traditional for our Orsha. Together with the employees of the museum complex of history and culture of the Orsha region, the Zonal State Archive in Orsha hosted visitors of the mystical excursion “Orsha Twilight”.

When darkness fell on Orsha, the participants of the excursion plunged into the mysterious history of the night city. Stories of love, insidious intrigues, terrible atrocities and the belief that the dawn will soon be intertwined in the dark streets. In the evening, all feelings become more acute, and strange shadows hide behind the corners of old houses….

The guests of the excursion comprehended the secrets of monastic orders, Orsha dungeons, learned about the blood-stirring Orsha legends, visited the basement of the former Trinitarian monastery, an architectural monument of the 18th century.

Participants received a lot of vivid impressions! Plunging into the history of the night city is curious and exciting!
