Ploshchad Mira

The southern end of ‘Peace Square’ is easily identified by its WWII tank memorial, one of the original involved in liberating Oryol from German occupation in August 1943. Note the hammer-and-sickle symbols on the park benches.

Opposite the square’s northwest corner is the elegant Dom Knigi building.
