Odessa, as you do or will now, is one of the outstanding cities of the globe.
In 1794 on the place of the future “Black Sea Southern Palmira” it was only a small Turkish fortress with handful of soldiers and one tree. And all around – a dry unmanned Wild Area. There, to conquer the lands for the Russian Empire, came the brightest commander in the history of wars – Generalissimos Suvorov (63 battles won and no defeat). No chances for the enemies – and the Emperor Catherina the Great ordered to ground the new port named Odessa.
