| Primorsky Boulevard is a shady seaside
promenade with many historic landmarks and interesting monuments. The architectural
ensemble of Primorsky Boulevard attests to the high standards of Odessa
architects. Designed as the compositional pivot of the city, the Boulevard
runs along the sealine.
The middle section of the Boulevard is occupied by the semi-circular
square with the monument to A. E. Richelieu in the center. The buildings
of the former stock exchange and the Vorontsov Palace terminate the Boulevard
on each end to form an integral balanced whole. The architectural rhythm
of Primorsky Boulevard, enhanced by horizontal terraces, is interrupted
by the vertical line of the grandiose Potemkin stairs terraces. Primorskiy
