Historical city centre of Odesa, Old port district in Odesa, Ukraine

The historic centre presents a grid system of broad streets with buildings showcasing Neoclassical, Art Nouveau, and Baroque architectural elements throughout the district.

Founded in 1794 by Catherine the Great, Odesa developed rapidly as a strategic warm-water port following the Russo-Turkish war of 1787-1792.

The Odesa Opera and Ballet Theatre stands as a central cultural institution, featuring performances in a nineteenth-century building with ornate decorative elements.

Visitors can explore the district through walking tours that connect major landmarks including Prymorskyi Boulevard, the Potemkin Stairs, and numerous museums.

The urban layout incorporates two natural ravines cutting through the high plateau, creating an unusual architectural arrangement with low-rise structures.

Location: Prymorskyi Raion
