[Odessa]: Entertaining stories
All good!
Pro mode "Porto-Franco" still say, referring to South Palmyra. In the air world it is called Duty Free. But in Odessa, the free trade zone was once called Porto Franco. In 2015, there was even a rally in Kiev with Odessa flags and slogans "Odessa for Porto Franco". The initiators of the rally was made to completely separate the Odessa region of Ukraine in the port. In order to spice up the dynamics of the port of Odessa a few years Kiev deputies spend too much time on the theme of the return of trade free of duties in our city. But, as I understand it, the question remained open...
115 years ago in the building on the street Pushkin, 10 moved in Bank "Porto-Franco" (Partnership of mutual credit). As you can see, so far in this place he remained.
Beautiful building, which was built by Alexander Bernardazzi in 1903. The style of the Italian Renaissance always attracts the eye to this building
Only the name of the Bank "Porto Franco" reminds us of the history of free trade in Odessa, initiated by Richelieu. But port was introduced only in the Boom. I do not know why I suffered to talk about Porto Franco:) Apparently, I just really like this building
In any event, the Porto-Franco Odessa, first brought rapid economic growth. Import and export of goods grew rapidly, Odessa flourished. Free trade has existed for almost 40 years. It is interesting that before the revolution in 1801 in South Palmyra operated more than 30 banks and credit and trade organizations. Very well on those times...
Speaking about the old banks of Odessa, it is worth noting the monumental building on Pasteur, 25. It is very beautiful architecture. Built in 1900 by architect Semyon Landesman . The building is empty-it surprises me very much. When there was the largest Bessarabian-Taurian land Bank. After 19 years, it was liquidated in 1919. On the place of Bank the party organization settled down. I must say that it was often made by Vladimir Mayakovsky
Old Odessa can be different. I was very surprised Devolanovsky descent of its desertion... So I went to look for contrasts that are found... Turns post action... But I love Odessa in all its forms
Looked a bit in the courtyards Devolanovsky descent, the smell of old Odessa...
This is another courtyard
Before you Stroganov bridge. It was built In 1863 by architect F. Gonsiorovsky and engineer K. Maev. There are no rivers in Odessa, but there are enough bridges. Stroganov bridge is the longest - 120 meters. The blue building on the left behind the bridge is a children's shelter. I was quite discouraged...
Painted wall decorated with a little gloom Devolanovsky descent
The ruins of a building.
Autumn " mess." Here I walked only in my student years, such a collapse was not then. When the port area was a little more positive...
Most likely, multi-storey houses will grow here. There is no way that this mess will be saved for history...
Filmed Devolanovsky descent from the bridge of Kotzebue, which is located on the street Bunina. For me it's like an oasis of ruins. From all sides of the descent of the new structure.
The post turned to be contrasting. Connected banks of Odessa with the regime of Porto Franco, architecture of buildings and Devolanovsky descent. She did not understand why...
Thank you for attention!
