The territory of Primorsky Boulevard has been inhabited since the 6th century. BC that is, by the ancient Greeks, and during the time of Turkish rule, the Yeni-Dunya fortress was located here. The boulevard began to acquire its current shape from the beginning. XIX century Now this is a popular area with historical buildings and access to the sea. 3 true facts Only the city's elite lived in the houses of Potemkin Boulevard. This is true. Land for development was allocated free of charge, but with the condition that a fashionable house would be built on it within 5 years. And only wealthy people could afford one: counts, board members, merchants, etc. The monument to Duke de Richelieu, the most famous landmark of Odessa, is the oldest in the city (1828). This is true. Moreover, the statue is made in life size. By the way! The word "Duke" means "count". The youngest, narrowest and highest pedestrian bridge in the city is located on Primorsky Boulevard. This is really so, and it leads from Vorontsov’s palace to the Shah’s palace, and is called Mother-in-law and, they say, when walking it fluctuates like a mother-in-law’s tongue :).

After the conquest of the Khadzhibey fortress, a Russian fortress was built on this site (the powder tower and arcade of which have been preserved). The fortress existed, however, only less than 20 years - when, as a result of the Russian-Turkish war, the Russian-Turkish border moved further to the south-west, the fortress was abolished as unnecessary. For a while, the place remained neglected and unsafe. According to the surviving plan of the architect F.C. Boffo from 1840, a park was to be laid out on this site. However, these lands did not belong to the city. And only on September 7, 1875, the park was finally opened, and on September 10 it was named Aleksandrovsky, in honor of the visit to Odessa by Emperor Alexander II, who personally planted an oak in it on the occasion of the opening of the park.

Despite the current situation in the country, the Philharmonic is undergoing a large-scale reconstruction.

Restaurant "Khadzhibey" once again confirmed my opinion about it: despite all the current conditions, the staff tries to feed their guests just as tasty and serve them with high quality. Thank you very tasty!

Restaurant of Crimean Tatar cuisine in Odessa. I was in it on my last visit to Odessa and this time I could not pass by: very tasty! In addition to a wide variety of mouth-watering dishes, there is a wonderful draft beer. I recommend very much!

The building, built in 1898 by the outstanding architect A. Bernardazzi, is undoubtedly one of the best creations of the Master in his entire long career. Initially, the building was intended for exchange trading, and therefore the New Merchant Exchange was located in it, which was erected to replace the Old Exchange on Primorsky Boulevard. This need was caused by the increase in grain exports through the city's port, the appearance of a railway in it and, accordingly, the growth of trade transactions. In Soviet times, when planned trade replaced the stock exchange, the building changed its purpose: for many years various public and state organizations were located here, plenary sessions were held, and literary evenings were organized. Since 1946, the building of the exchange was occupied by the Odessa Philharmonic. The building resembles the Doge's Palace in Venice. Skillfully imitating the forms of the Renaissance of the Florentine school, the architect made the ceiling of the main entrance in the form of a vault of heaven, decorated with the signs of the zodiac. The exterior decor was created by M. Molinari, using stained glass windows and Carrara marble. The architecture of the Philharmonic's courtyard is no less successful, looking into which, you find yourself in the era of the Italian Renaissance. A majestic white marble staircase leads to the hall. Its walls are decorated with paintings by the St. Petersburg artist Karazin and the Florentine painter Cassioli with scenes of trade between peoples at different stages of human development.
