The headland formed by the River Orlik flowing into the River Oka is known as the Strelka in Russian.  At the end of the Strelka is a monument to the 400th anniversary of the city as it was here that the Oryol fortress was established in 1566. The monument takes the form of a 27 metre granite plinth.  Next to this monument is a war memorial dedicated to the liberation of Oryol, comprising Victory personified and two soldiers.  It is a favourite spot for newly-weds.
