~ODESA~
(Part-3)
After Colonada we kept on going and came across with the monument of Duc de Richelieu...
This statue is a bronze statue designed by Ivan Martos and unveiled in 1828...

Just next to this statue...there is one place which is really important for me if we consider I had been dreaming on to see there since I was a small child...
This place is "Potemkin Stairs" which is 142 meter long and constructed between 1837-1841...

The first time I heard about Potemkin Stairs via a movie which is known as one of the best movies of all times like a milestone about movies: The Battleship Potemkin (1925) by Sergei Eisenstein...
And now I was in Odesa...I was witnessing to see this amazing stairs which is so meaningful for me...cause I gave a promise to myself that I will be able to see these stairs...and yes I saw there...you can easily imagine my happiness :)
Then I kept walking...again I started to smell awesome jasmine flowers...

Only 15 minutes later...you can come across the city hall of Odesa and Alexander Pushkin monument...

And just next to the city hall of Odesa, you can come across the "world distances" statue...

| Distances and distances |
And there is a museum (archeological) over there which has Laocoon sculpture in front of it...

Just 3 minutes far from this museum, one of the most beautiful attractions of Odesa: Odesa Opera and Ballet Theater...

This theater's unique acoustics allows to deliver even a whisper from the stage to any part of the hall...
And for more observations from Odesa...I just would like to point out the next part...
