The city of Odessa 25 celebrated its bicentenary years ago. The time of the foundation of the "pearl" of the Black Sea was 1794 year. Exactly then, decree of Catherine II, on the site of the Khadzhibey fortress recaptured from the Turks, city was founded. Odessa almost immediately turned into the largest port of the Northern Black Sea region. Almost all of Europe “feed” through it.
For my, not so long story, the city managed to acquire its own traditions, reports the journalist of the portal https://hrabro.com.ua/. Today Odessa is famous for its hospitality and unique architecture of the old city.. Besides, this – one of the largest resorts in the Northern Black Sea region. The city has many old streets., historic mansions and magnificent modern structures. Many sculptural compositions and fountains adorn the city.
The most famous part of the city is the area of Deribasovskaya street.. Today this street – one of the symbols of the city. A beautiful urban garden stretches along it., with lots of trees, alleys. Here you can hear the songs of the famous Soviet artist, native of Odessa, Leonid Osipovich Utyosov. Sometimes classical music sounds from the central gazebo of the garden.
Sometime, in this garden, local artists displayed their paintings. They depicted the most beautiful landscapes of Odessa, its narrow courtyards, seascapes, still lifes. For a small fee, in a few minutes the artist created a small cartoon or portrait. Today they are not here. Nowadays, this beauty can be seen opposite Deribasovskaya, in front of the new cathedral on Cathedral Square.
One of the main shrines of the city is St. Panteleimon Convent, you can learn more about which on the website hrabro.com.ua. No less interesting is the Holy Transfiguration Cathedral, which was built on Cathedral Square. Of particular interest to the traveler is the seaport of Odessa.. It looks like the deck of a big ship, which is moored near the shore and is already ready to sail.
probably, the main historical monument of the city should be considered the Catacombs. It's a whole underground city, created by residents when mining stone for construction. The Odessa Opera House is considered to be a delightful monument of the Baroque era.. Performed on its stage:
- Leonid Sobinov,
- Fyodor Chaliapin,
- Pyotr Tchaikovsky…
Not so long ago the theater was reconstructed. Today it has become a wonderful decoration of the seaside part of the city.. The building of the Dresden Opera served as a prototype for the construction of the theater. The most unusual building in Odessa is located in Vorontsovsky Lane, which has a triangular shape and from the side seems completely flat.
