Odessa is the city of the rich cultural heritage.  In 1794 Catherine the II manifested about the foundation of a navy harbour on the place of the former Khadzibey tower, an old Turkish harbour.   The city was named after the Greek settlement Odessos which situated in 30 miles eastwards of the tower. 

Most of the buildings of the young city had been built of shell limestone which mined underground.  There are numerous mines with long tunnels, added passages underneath the city buildings. The mines became a shelter for poor population and for smugglers with their contraband.  Today these mines are known as Catacombs of Odessa.

Admiral de Ribas, Duke De Richelieu, Count Vorontsov, Landzheron and other outstanding mayors of Odessa made their contribution in the  prosperity of this Southern city.   The major attractions of Odessa: Deribasovskaya Street, Potyomkinskaya Ladder, Primorsky Boulevard and Odessa Opera and Ballet House have been built TN the times of these talented people. 

Odessa is a young city by European standards, but its history is rich in the number of many glorious events which left a trace in appearance of the city and its inhabitants who have special admiration to their motherland. 

Everyone who has visited Odessa keeps very special impression about this city and a desire to come back once and again to this city on the shore of the Black Sea.
