Deribasovskaya Street
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deribasovskaya Street (Russian: Дерибасовская) is a pedestrian walkway in the heart of Odessa, Ukraine. The street is named after José de Ribas, who helped build the city, and who lived on the street.
Next to the street is Odessa's first park, which was built shortly after the foundation of the city in 1803 by De Ribas's brothers, Joseph and Felix. This park has a fountain, bandstand, and several monuments, including a sculpture of a lion and lioness with her cubs, a chair commemorating the famous book "The Twelve Chairs", two monuments to Leonid Osipovich Utyosov (a sculpture and also a phone which plays his music), and a monument to Sergey Utochkin, a famous pilot.
