Monument to Orange
The monument symbolizes the event that took place in the end of 18th century, when Pavel I agreed not to cancel Ekaterina' rescript about Black sea port and city foundation on the place of Turkish fortress captured by Russian troops. It is said to have happened because the citizens of Odessa sent him the cart of oranges.

Originally installed at Langeronovskaya street near Archaeological Museum , it was moved in year 2007 to the Bulvar Iskusstv (boulevard of Arts).
