Prymorskyi Boulevard in Odesa - what you need to know

Prymorskyi Boulevard in Odesa is located on the outskirts of the city plateau, starting from Dumska Square (where the City Council Building is located) and ending near Vorontsov Palace. 

According to experts, the boulevard is one of the best urban planning ensembles of Ukrainian classicist architecture, a kind of facade connecting the historic center with the Black Sea and the entrance to Odesa from the sea.

Pushkinska, Kateryninska, Gogol, and Vorontsovskyi lanes face the boulevard. One side of the boulevard is built up. 

There is also a steep slope on the boulevard leading to the Naval Station of the Odesa Commercial Port, which was recently destroyed by rockets fired by russian troops in Odesa. The station was heavily damaged, as was the nearby Odesa Hotel. 

The Potemkin Stairs descend from the boulevard to the passenger terminal of the Odesa port, and at the top of the boulevard is the famous Duke monument.

This boulevard is present in many feature films - different directors have repeatedly chosen it as a location in their works.
