Ancient Boulevard History
For two hundred years, Seaside Boulevard has been known as an archaeological site. During the construction of houses at the beginning of the 19th century, workers began to come across antique ancient Greek burials and individual utensils and household items of the ancient inhabitants of this territory. During the reconstruction of the boulevard in 2008, specialists of the Odessa Archaeological Museum discovered the remains of a Greek settlement of the 6th - 5th centuries BC, located on the present territory of the boulevard. It was assumed that after the reconstruction the excavation site would be filled up again, but then it was decided to save the excavations by covering them with a glass dome. [4] Now this peculiar archaeological open-air museum has become one of the tourist attractions of the boulevard. In addition, from 1764 until the end of the 18th century, the Turkish fortress Yeni-Dunya ( tour. Yeni Dünya - apt. "New World") stood on the territory of modern Seaside Boulevard. The fortress towered above the steep coastal coast and stretched from the Vorontsov Palace to the middle of Primorsky Boulevard.
Boulevard Night Illumination
Since December 2006, all the trees located on Primorsky Boulevard have been decorated with colorful luminous garlands that turn on every day in the evening and at night. In 2007, it was decorated with garlands of white light Platan Pushkin, a huge tree growing at the beginning of the boulevard near the monument to Pushkin. 3200 meters of garlands were used on his decoration. The night illumination of Primorsky Boulevard was originally temporary, created only during the New Year holidays, but was so loved by Odessa residents and visitors that the authorities decided to make the illumination permanent.
