"The Old Odessa in miniature", or "The Corner of Old Odessa"

The small preserved area, still called "A corner if Old Odessa" is a vivid example of cemetery architecture, which is so characteristic of the city architecture.

A famous novelist, Illia Ilf said: "it is a strange town, where they took monuments out of the cemetery…"

Architectural relic from all over the city have been gathered in Old Odessa: an open-work park bench, a bronze griffon, a "hutch-backed" wooden bridge, the marble bowl of well, a figure of a grieving woman, which obviously once served as a grave stone.

This "Corner of Old Odessa" is especially popular with tourist and newly-weds.
