Streets of Odessa
The history of Odessa began in 1784, so the city is considered quite young. It contains a large number of attractions and famous places. The central streets of Odessa are distinguished by low-rise buildings. There are only a few new buildings here, which cause a lot of controversy over their need. Most of the buildings in Odessa were built before the revolution. There are also houses from the Stalinist and Brezhnev era. Away from the center are the sleeping areas, which were formed in the 80s of the last century..
