Cathedral Square in Odessa

Odessa Cathedral Square is located in the heart of this wonderful city. It is located at the intersection of Garden, Preobrazhenskaya and Deribasovskaya streets. Since its foundation, this square has played a major role in Odessa. It was here that all the major church and city holidays were held.

In the middle of the square stands the Transfiguration Cathedral. The square was named after him. The building was built in 1795. It is remarkable not only for its architecture, but also for its scale. The cathedral accommodated up to 12 thousand people at the same time. In 1936, the cathedral was destroyed, and in 1999 - completely restored.

On the northern part of the square stands a bronze statue of Mikhail Semenovich Vorontsov, a prince who since 1823 was the governor of the Novorossiysk Territory. He became famous as a famous statesman and as a participant in many military campaigns.
