CHEVTCHENKO PARK (ШЕВЧЕНКО ПАРК)

Between Marazlievskaya streets, Uspenskaya and Lidersovski Boulevard, this park was founded in 1840. Here, on the edge of a escarpment overlooking the sea, the remains of the quarantine wall (Карантинная стена) are found, high during the plague epidemic that struck Odessa at the beginning of the th century. In the park you can also walk through the alley of Glory with monuments reminiscent of the past of Odessa during World War II. The area around the park, especially the Marazlievskaya street, is very prestigious and there are magnificent houses. From the park you can get down to Langeron beach.
