Statue of the Duc de Richelieu in Odesa, Bronze statue at Prymorskyi Boulevard, Odesa, Ukraine
The Duc de Richelieu monument features a 4.5-meter bronze figure standing on a pink granite pedestal at the top of Potemkin Stairs.
Installed in 1828, this monument honors Armand Emmanuel du Plessis, who served as Odesa's governor from 1803 to 1814, transforming the city into a major port.
The statue represents the first public monument erected in Odesa, designed by architects Avraam Melnikov and Francesco Boffo with classical artistic elements.
Located at the intersection of Prymorskyi Boulevard and Potemkin Stairs, the monument offers views of the Black Sea and the port facilities below.
During the Crimean War, the statue sustained damage from a cannonball, and the repair patch remains visible on its bronze surface to this day.
