Photo and description

Deribasovskaya street is the main street of the city, the heart of Odessa. It got its name in honor of Osip Deribas, the founder of the city; most of it is a pedestrian zone. Deribasovskaya is a popular promenade with numerous cafes and shops. The City Garden adjacent to the street, the first in Odessa, is also popular.

The City Garden was opened in 1803, almost immediately after the city was founded, by the brothers Jose and Felix de Ribas. Since mid-2006, the city garden has been under restoration, and in May 2007 it reopened to visitors.

A singing fountain has appeared in the park, a round covered stage has been restored, where performances of symphony orchestras are held. The City Garden is also famous for its monuments: some of them have become symbols of Odessa. These are monuments to a lion and a lioness with lions, a monument "The Twelfth Chair", erected in honor of the book by Ilf and Petrov "Twelve Chairs", a monument to Leonid Utyosov, and a monument to the pilot and athlete of the early XX century Sergei Utochkin.
